There are a number of remedies and life style activities that can help you sleep at night.
Remedy 1. A warm glass of milk with sugar added. The sugar is important as it encourages the release of melatonin when mixed with lactose found in milk.
Remedy 2 Burn essential oils an hour before bed. One drop of chamomile, 2 drops of Lavender and one drop of Marjoram essential oils in an oil burner should do it.
Remedy 3 Passionflower tea half an hour before bed, or alternatively Hops tea or chamomile tea, or a mix of all three.
Remedy 4 A product by Brauer called Sleep and Insomnia, It is a homeopathic remedy which can be taken before bed and during the alocated sleep time when you are awake, with no side effects that sleeping pills have. Read the directions on the box.
Lifestyle- Make sure you have a balanced diet and your body is recieving its nutritional needs. Be sure to exercise on a daily basis but not too late at night, morning is best. Stretch your muscles, ligaments and skin by doing stretching exercises. Learn to still you mind which basicly is meditation.
Bed Time- Choose an allocated bed time and what ever happens,besides emergency situations. DO NOT get out of bed. Train yourself to sleep. If your mind wonders, still it. Get a good relaxation cd and play it as you drift off. An excellent exercise to do in bed is start at your toes and visualize a gentle blue light slowly encasing your body. Feel each muscle relax as the blue light seeps into your body and feel your body getting heavy as it relaxes. It should take about half an hour to complete as the blue light slowly creeps up your body.
Hope these are helpful.
