Trouble Sleeping?!

Trouble Sleeping?

I am tired all the time, sleepy, but when i go to bed, i lay down i'm wide awake. it usually takes me an avg of 2-3 hours to sleep and when i do i toss and turn. What are some natural remidies to help? I can not take sleeping pills.

There are many natural supplements that are known to help promote better sleep. Among them are valarian root, chamomile, melatonin and calcium. For the last of these supplements, you know the classic warm milk thing? Well part of the reason it worked is the warmth was soothing. The other reason it worked is because of the extra bit of calcium before bed.

There are other things you can do to help you sleep besides taking pills or supplements or teas. If you have a TV in your room, get rid of it. Don't do anything in your bedroom other than sleep and sex. If you are having trouble falling asleep for more than half an hour, get out of bed and do something that does not stimulate the mind. Don't read an interesting book. Do not watch TV. Keep things as low key as possible. When you get tired enough to fall asleep, try getting back into bed again. You can keep the room a bit cooler as your body tempature naturally rises when you first fall asleep. Make sure that very little, if any, light gets into the bedroom. The light can effect the quality of sleep. Another thing that may help is having some background white noise. It would block out any noise coming from the street, etc. and help you fall asleep and stay asleep.
