Question : What are some options for natural sleeping pills?
My job is really stressful and I’m finding it hard to fall asleep– ESPECIALLY Sunday night. I don’t like taking medication, but I am open to “natural” sleep methods such as: tea, herbs, and some other practices. I don’t drink caffiene (no coffee, just rooibus tea each morning). I do yoga once or twice a week. I don’t watch tv, read, or work in my bed. My week is typical– no sudden time changes when I wake up or go to sleep. Nothing works!!! please help! I’m very open to alternative types of medication. and i hate warm milk.

5-HTP (found in the vitamin/supplement area of most pharmacies and grocers) is conducive to making one sleepy. It has something to do with leveling the seratonin levels in your brain, which also plays a role in stress. Melatonin and Valerian roots are supposed to help, too. All I know is that I took a 5-HTP once and I felt drugged and dozed off almost immediately, but woke up without the same boozy feeling I would get from, say, a Unisom or something like that.

Try SleepMD sold at drug stores. It’s very effective and all natural, no drugs at all. I have used it once or twice for insomnia and let me tell ya, it worked! And I felt great the next morning, not groggy or sluggish. It’s a bit expensive, I think it’s about $ 30 or so but well worth it. Also, if you don’t want to spend that kind of money try melatonin(it’s in the SleepMD also). Take 2-3 mgs about an hour before you want to sleep.
Good luck……sweet dreams =) -

Stress is a sign of our times and a much more serious problem than we like to make of it.
Why get hooked on using even natural teas of herbs..when your talking about something that youll do the rest of your life such as Sleep….
Exercise = walk and get plenty of fresh air, drink lots of water.
air and wather help flush system of toxins, rebuild cells, and
the walking tires you while helping your body to get pump out those toxins that are what actually cause your body to be sluggish and unable to sleep…. -

hi,
Below are some options for natural sleeping pills:
* Take 2 tsp of fenugreek leaves juice with 1 tsp of honey at bed times daily
* Drink a cup of warm milk with honey, nutmeg can also be added. The tryptophan in milk helps in sleeping.
* The mixture of bottle gourd juice and sesame oil in 50:50 ratio is also an effective medicine for insomnia. It should be massaged over the scalp every night.
* Avoid white flour products, sugar and its products, tea, coffee, chocolate, cola drinks, alcohol, fatty foods, fried foods, and foods containing additivesHope these may help you!!

Melatonin, but you should still speak to your doctor first, and warm milk is useless. Good luck.
