Answer 2

Don't ever take the sleeping pills route!!

1. They will damage your liver big time and you can get into serious health problems.

2. You will get hooked up on them and you won't be able to have a normal life any more if you don't take your pills everyday.

The sleeping pills industry is damaging our health by capitalizing on our ignorance, and by distracting people from effective and natural ways to deal with this problem. I had been taking prescription sleep medications [Ambien] for over 5 years. It stopped working and I simply took more. Still did not work. Nights were very difficult - medication put me to sleep but I would wake up after 2–3 hours with a strong sympathetic response (fast pulse, pounding heartbeat, wide awake alert). It was a very difficult cycle to break. I was really in bad shape due to lack of sleep.

After years of struggling I was able to cure my insomnia naturally and pretty fast. I followed the Sleep Tracks sleep optimization program, here is their official web -site if you want to take a look: http://www.insomniacure.net

Ohhh..and Good Luck!

A great thing to help you sleep is the scent of lavendar. You can purchase lavendar oil at the health food store... use about three drops in your bath water. Or you can use lavendar inscence... works like a charm. You can also try meditating.. start with the toes... flex them then relax them.. work your way up your body flexing and relaxing each part. In no time you should be relaxed and ready to sleep. There is also Nytol... they have a natural brand of those in the drug store... and you can try to drink a nice cup of Chamomile tea to help you relax as well. Hope these ideas help you some.

Answer 4

Valerian Root is probably the best herb you can take to help you fall asleep. I have used it on occasion and love it. You don't wake up in the morning with a feeling like you were in a drug coma or something.

The liquid form seems not only to work faster, but is also a direct extract from the plant so it's easy for your digestive system to digest. Because it's already in a liquid from, your stomach doesn't need to work hard to break it down, and it gets into your blood stream much faster.

Answer 5

For a very economical price you can get natural melatonin from Wal-Mart in the vitamin section which helps your body to produce more natural Serotonin at bed time to enhance sleep. There are zero side effects, other than a good nights sleep, and it is non-habit forming. It is just a great vitamin supplement. Search the key word "Melatonin" on your Yahoo search engine to confirm what I'm telling you. It naturally provides me a great nights sleep every night after trying for years to sleep at night before I found the dietary supplement. I wake refreshed and full of energy as I am only promoting my body's own ability to sleep. The best brand comes in a purple bottle from the company "Natrol" and is labeled Melatonin 5mg (1 tablet at night). Again, it is non-narcotic as it is a natural supplement and it is found in the vitamin and health section at your local Wal-Mart. It's the best kept secret for sleep I've ever experienced for a great nights sleep every night, and you don't have to drink milk with it either.

Answer 6

Celestial Seasonings makes a tea called Sleepytime tea. You can usually find it in the grocery stores, but I'm sure that all health food stores would also carry it. It works very well. Also, any teas by Traditional Medicinals are really good also, I just haven't used their Organic Nighty Night yet. Chamomile is also good to relax you.

Answer 7

I have used Valerian root. Just put 15-20 drops in a cup of herbal decaf tea. It's bitter so I also put a few spoons of sugar. Works like a charm for me. Good luck!

Answer 8
