There are herbal teas to help calm you and lull you to sleep. I have had success with them in the past. Here's something else I do ( try not to laugh). On some nights when I find myself restless at 4 in the morning, I tune in to several infomercials and watch them over and over until I fall asleep. Some experts say it's actually a bad habit to fall asleep to the television but I use this method (haha) as a last resort.

Try these things before going to bed:
- a warm bath scented with lavender oil (tranquilizes)
- exclude or limit the amount of caffeine you consume daily
- sleep on a quality mattress
- read a few chapters in a novel while in bed
- play some soothing music (low volume)
- try wearing an eyemask to bed
- exercise during the day ( makes you more tired)
- lovemaking
- adjust your thermostat to a cooler temperature

I'm only speaking from personal experience. These things have helped me catch a good night's sleep. Sleep well! : )

there are so many factors to a good night's sleep it is hard to say. From the top-stop eating late, especially caffeine. Are you comfortable? Is the air in your bedroom clean? Are yo thinking about stuff? Maybe you should take a walk before slumber to burn off excess energy. Too much time at the computer causes electromagnetic choas in your body and that may disrupt your sleep. Are you taking medication? Do something that would make you more tired. Turn the TV off-keeps your brain functioning instead of resting. There is just no end. take a personal evaluation of your habits and environment and see what you come up with!

I asked this same question last week or so, here were best answers for me: hot bath (I actually got up and took one!) either chamomile tea, warm milk, or simply warm water to sip on.
squeeze each muscle group one at a time, starting at toes, up to ankles, calves, knees, thighs, you get the idea. squeeze, hold, release. do eyelids, forehead, hair follicles too if you can imagine.
Imagine sheep actually jumping over a fence. the eye movement with your eyes closed really does make you drowsy. NO alcohol! if you have some benedril, or any anti hystimine, take a couple, but you will still be really drowsy in morning. get some melatonin for future use (doesn't work for everyone.. get it at any store with vitamins and supplements... very common and natural and cheap)

Before going to sleep, try soaking your feet in a basin of rock salt water. Collect sufficient water from the tap into a basin and put in a handful of rock salt. Then immersed both feet in the water. Make sure that the water is above your ankles. Close your eyes and relax while soaking your feet for about 15 minutes. After that rinse your feet with clean water and dry your feet thoroughly befoe going to sleep.

Try having NO naps in the daytime, and adequate exercise.

Good sex can also help you sleep (much more attractive/fun option than boring ol' sleeping pills)!!

Best of luck (getting the sex - and the sleep you need)!!

Insomnia treatment using Thiamine
Of the various food elements, thiamine or vitamin B is of special significance in the treatment of insomnia. It is vital for strong, healthy nerves. A body starved of thiamine over a long period will be unable to relax and fall asleep naturally. Valuable sources of this vitamin are wholegrain cereals, pulses, and nuts.

Insomnia treatment using Lettuce
Lettuce is beneficial in the treatment of insomnia as it contains a sleep-inducing substance, called 'lectucarium'. The juice of this plant has been likened in effect to the sedative action of opium without the accompanying excitement. Lettuce seeds taken in a decoction are also useful in insomnia. One tablespoon of seeds should be boiled in half a litre of water, till it is reduced by one-third.

Insomnia treatment using Milk
Milk is very valuable in insomnia. A glass of milk, sweetened with honey, should be taken every night before going to bed in treating this condition. It acts as a tonic and a tranquilliser. Massaging the milk over the soles of the feet has also been found effective.

Curd is also useful in insomnia. The patient should take plenty of curd and massage it on the head. This will induce sleep.

Insomnia treatment using Honey
Honey is beneficial in the treatment of insomnia. It has a hypnotic action and induces a sound sleep. It should be taken with water, before going to bed, in doses of two teaspoons in a large cup of water. Babies generally fall asleep after taking honey.

Insomnia treatment using Rauwolfia
The herb rauwolfia is a valuable medicine for insomnia because of its indisputable efficacy as a sedative. The hypnotic action of the drug appears to have been known since ancient times. The very first dose of rauwolfia will enable a patient with a phlegmatic and gouty nature to go to sleep.

Try reading a book and drinking warm milk. If you don't like milk, you can try chamomile tea.
