spiritwise333	One of the best herbal medicines for promoting natural, restful sleep is Valerian Root (use the tablet or capsule form). Take it 1 hour before you want to go to sleep. It works as well as most prescription medications and it is NON- Addicting. You can get Valerian Root at Health Food Stores. It will not affect your hormones. Get a new mattress. Exercise can be stimulating for some people. Try to exercise earlier in the day. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

snowee6952	Try some Melatonin. It is a natural hormone produced in the brain. It is like a clock that tells you when to go to bed and when to wake up...if these levels are out of whack you will have problems sleeping. They come in 1mg or 3mg. I would start off with the 1mg to see if that will work for you, if not then take two and up to three...do not exceed 3mg in a 24hr period. These should be taken about 30min before you want to go to sleep. They will sometimes cause some slight grogginess in the morning for about the first week while u'r body adjusts to them...other than that there are no common side affects. They are not addictive and do not affect any other hormones (aside from what your body already produces of the Melatonin). Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

ronirhea04	You might have Insomina. Try taking these; Calcium - 1,500 to 2,000mg daily in divided doses, after meals and at bed time. (Calcium can give a calming effect. Do not use Calcium Lactate if you are allergis to dairy products.) Use also Magnesium - 1,000mg daily. (used to balance the Calcium and to relax the muscles. ::IMPORTANT:: Melatonin - Start with 1.5mg daily taken 1hr before bedtime. Gradually start increaseing your dosage if this one dosnt work. You can go all the way up to 5mg. Some Herbs that are also really good for Insomnia: Kava Kava, Skull Cap, Valerian Root, and Passion Flower are all good in the capsule form. If you drink the liquid version it just tastes nasty. Hope this Helps! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Rayen	First, don't exercise so close to bed time, that can keep you awake. Next, avoid sleep meds if you can, they are easy to get dependent on. Try Chamomile tea at night, or even warm milk (believe it or not). Make sure your room is comfortable and quiet. Sometimes, I turn on a really boring TV show and that puts me to sleep quickly.
