'Solaray' Sleep Blend is sold at the Vitamin Cottage and other health stores. This is excellent for sleep, no hangovers if you have to work the next morning. It's a blend of Valerian, Hops, Skullcap, Passion Flower, Dandelion, Chamomile, Marshmallow and Hawthorn. I'm also a big fan of Melatonin, 1/2 mg., but I don't like to take the same thing all the time. If you're ok with antihistamines, 'Unisom' works very well on occassion when you want to be 'knocked out' fairly quickly. Will hang you over if not taken early enough and if you use it too often, it'll have the opposite effect and make you nervous so you can't sleep

This works like a charm... Heat milk to the point just before it boils (frothy on top) then add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and 1 level tsp of sugar and sprinkle cinnimon on top stir very well and drink while hot. You'll be out in no more than 15-20 minutes. The heating directions are crucial to activating the natural sedative in milk; the rest is just for flavoring.

The scent of vanilla summons a sense of calm. While changing cloths for bed, light a vanilla candle. Moisturize hands and arms with vanilla scented cream. Tension will be gone.

Inhaling marijuana smoke shortly before going to bed has been known to aid in getting to sleep. You may feel groggy in the morning, but a quick run around the block will fix it, no problem. There are debates regarding the morality and in some cases the legality of this method, but hey...it works.

well the most obvious remedy I can think of is a glass of wine before bed.. it has been proven that wine in small doses is healthy for you and in some cases reduces heart disease

I was a serious insomniac for over half a year and lets face it prescription drugs are not the answer and herbal teas are not enough. What i have found highly beneficial is doing internal martial arts or Tao Yin. Tai Chi is an example of this. It is a moving meditation that relaxes the mind, body and shen all at the same time. After doing this exercise for 15mins 1/2 hour before bed you should start to feel sleepy, not only will it help you get to sleep it will help you stay asleep. The greatest thing about it is that you feel more positve during the day, and since i have been doing it my work and family life has increased dramatically. If you wish to have a drink after the exercise, I recommend half a small glass of hot water with sliced ginger and a table spoon of brandy to help sedate you even more. I only expect you to take my advice if your serious about getting better.
