Does anyone have any natural remedies for
insomnia? It takes me 2 hours of laying
in bed before I doze off and I go to sleep
at 3:00 am.!

Remedy For Sleep

Hello, I was doing some research and was
directed to this site, found it
interesting and decided to join, anyways
just wanted to recommend a couple of
remedies that may help you. I am a
licensed chiropractor and use herbal
remedies and nutrition in my practice
regularly, here are a few natural remedies
that may help you. 5-htp
(5-hydroxytryptophan) is a precursor to
serotonin (the happy hormone) which is
found in turkey and milk---since
thanksgiving is coming up indulge in
turkey for the same effect :). 5-htp
increases rem sleep but doesn't make you
drowsy the next morning. To enhance its
effect take it with some fruit or fruit
juice.
Valerian root is used as a sedative and
antihypertensive and can improve sleep
quality. The extract seems to be more
effective (about 160 mg).
Now these are only recommendations and my
other recommendation to you would be to
consult your doctor before using any
therapy. If you are taking any meds do
not take these remedies and do as
gaskins1228 recommended. A cup of luke
warm milk and a small peanut butter
sandwich an hour before bed can also help
with sleep. Good luck and good sleeping.

5 drops of chamomile oil into a bath,
before bed, is very good for inducing
sleepiness.
Also, add some chamomile oil to your
moisturizer, and then apply the
moisturizer to your whole body when you've
finished your bath.
Make sure the moisturizer doesn't contain
mineral oil, as essential oils don't mix
well with mineral oil.
Do this, and you should be out like a
light!

Ambien worked wonders for me. I did not
have to use it for any extended period of
time. It took about 2 months for me to
get rid of the restless nights and sudenly
I just started sleeping without the aid of
any medicine.
Might be worth a shot to go to your family
doc and ask for either ambien or lunesta
or sonata. They are all sleeping pills
that work in about 10 minutes and you get
a very peaceful sleep and wake up totally
refreshed.

I had a problem with sleeping before. I
would lie for hours in bed and think and
think about everything.
I tried melatonin and it worked for me. I
started with one capsule and increased to
two. By the time I got to 3 caps, I was
able to fall asleep in 15 minutes. So I
would say melatonin works and it has no
side effects.
Availabe at health food stores. Good luck
to you!

Just to revive an old thread. I am now
taking lunesta 3mg one tablet per night
and it has worked wonders for me. After
not taking a sleep aid for well over a
year, I asked my doc for some samples of
either lunesta or ambien cr and I go the
lunesta.
I knew I was very sleep deprived and had
not paid much attention to the fact that I
was a walking zombie because sleep lose
comes on slowly and it took a long time
for me to realize. I have now been taking
lunesta for 3 weeks and I feel like a
million bucks when I wake up.
If somone is contemplating a prescription
hypnotic, I would highly recommend ambien
or lunesta and at this point I am a bit
more happy with the 3mg lunesta than I was
with the regular 10mg ambien (pre-cr
days). (one side note: lunesta does leave
a funny taste on the back of your tounge,
it goes away over the course of the day
but it is the one bad thing I have noticed
with it vs. Ambien.)
anyway I just thought it would be a good
thread to revive and hopfully help someone
that isn't sure what to do or what to ask
for.
Good luck,
brian

Hai,
i was also suffering with the same problem
I use to go late to bed and get up early
in the morning. I was really feeling
tired unable to do any work felt myself
like lazy. I was so depressed with this
attitude of mine. Then I got my remedy
and heal at this where I was indicated to
take the herbal dietary supplements which
really worked and now I have a long sleep
without any disturbance. My body has
become so energetic that I feel myself
enthusiastic in doing all my works. I
have become active to do all my works.
Better try these.
Hope it will be helpful for you

Yup as a matter of fact I do! Goji
juice. I would wake up at 2 every night
and not go back to sleep. I take one
once before I go to bed and I am asleep
within minutes of hitting the pillow. I
don't wake up till 6 the next morning!

Several things...
Try to get plenty of exercise during the
day (not too late) to help ensure that
your whole body is physically tired,
naturally. Good for a lot of other things
too, of course!
Here's a trick I learned long ago--when
you're stressed, even about being awake,
your tongue will frequently be pushed hard
against the roof of your mouth without
your being aware of it. Relax your tongue
so it isn't plastered against your palate.
Sounds strange but it can really help the
rest of you relax. Seriously.
Melatonin works for me sometimes and many
other people as well.

hi.
Usually, warm milk with chocolate and a
turkey sandwich is a relaxing dinner  it normally works
for me to have this king of dinners, light
things, but not exciting things.
