what helps you get to sleep when you're having a restless night?

Answer 1

This is what I do: Put clean sheets on the bed. Heat up some milk and add a little honey to it, or boil 2 Tablespoons poppy seeds with 1 Tablespoon rosemary until the pint of water is reduced by half and sweeten with honey. Take a warm (Not Hot!) shower with lavender soap. Get clean jammies to put on, fresh and warm from the drier.
Get into your clean bed, turn off ALL the lights and sounds, close your eyes and start to count backward from 1000. I can't recall ever getting past 800.
Sweetest dreams!
P.S. Don't use the poppy seed formula if you have to do drug testing, it comes up positive on the cheaper tests.

Answer 2

I guess it depends on what is making me restless. If I just keep thinking and can't sleep, then I read until my eyes get tired and simply drop off to sleep. But if it's like personal issues that keep me from sleeping, I try to sort them out mentally, which helps. And if I just toss and turn, i sleep on my side or stomach and grab the blanket with one hand =) also studies show that a warm glass of milk or some turkey helps before you sleep!

Answer 3

Tylenol makes a product called Simply Sleep. It's like Tylenol PM but without the acetominaphen, which is hard on your liver if you take it when you don't need it. It works well for occasional use.

Melatonin is also a very good herbal remedy for when you can't sleep.
