   I swear by lavender oil. That really relaxes me and puts me to sleep. You have to use a good quality one, put it on a tissue, or massage it onto your temples (forehead).
   If you don’t have any maybe try having a relaxing bath and a glass of warm milk/cocoa.
   Good luck with your new job!!! xx

   Chamomile tea is best. Lime Blossom is also, it helps calm nerves and reduce tension. A change in making your diet healthier by eating plenty of fruits and vegetables (without meat) along with exercising helps also. Organic fruits and vegetables are best.

   marijuana first and foremost. that is if you don’t get drug tested. I do agree with chamomile tea maybe mixed with a little warm milk.

   There is evidence that lavender oil, either added to a bath or dripped onto the pillow is very sedative.

   To get good sleep our body needs tryptopan. Since our body does not produce it, we have to look
   at the food source. But then if food source is high protein then tryptopan has to compete with other
   amino acids to reach the brain and is usually the loser. So the next best option is food source high
   in carbohydrate and rich in tryptopan. And what is that? Well, get hold of some whole wheat brown
   bread. To this apply thin filament of peanut butter. Agreed peanut butter is protein rich but the quantity
   is minimal. Now fill these slices of bread with cubes of tomatoes and cucumber, unpeeled (this is
   important and therefore needs to be thoroughly cleansed and if you could get hold of organic tomatoes
   and cucumber the better) of course. Now consume this sand witch in the evening at 6p.m. and by the
   time it is 10p.m. you will reach zzzland. Good luck and God bless. Cheers! :o)

   To relieve insomnia, you should avoid substances that make it worse and have good bedtime habits that make it easier to fall asleep and stay asleep. Make sure your bedroom is a comfortable temperature, dark, and quiet enough for sleep.

   Good bedtime habits include:

   - Prepare yourself for sleep by, e.g. preparing a ‘to do’ list for tomorrow, so that such distractions are at their minimum when you actually hit the bed.

   - Turn your alarm clock so that its glow doesn’t let you know of the time ticking away.

   - Not exercising, eating heavy meals, or drinking a lot shortly before bedtime. One exception is yoga. A number of yoga postures are designed to calm your body and prepare you for sleep.

   - Following a routine that helps you wind down and relax before bed, such as reading a book, listening to soothing music, or taking a hot bath.

   - If you share a bed, buy a king size bed with two different mattresses so that you two don’t disturb each other while sleeping.

   - Making your bedroom sleep-friendly. Avoid bright lighting and minimize possible sleep distractions, such as a TV, computer, or pet.

   - Going to sleep around the same time each night and waking up around the same time each morning, even on weekends. If possible, avoid night shifts or alternating schedules at work and other causes of irregular sleep schedules.

   Both herbal and homeopathic remedies are commonly used alternatives to sleeping tablets in reducing insomnia, and can be very effective in helping to assist an individual in the transition to peaceful slumber without strong sedatives or any concerning side effects.

   Certain herbs such as Hypericum perforatum, Scuttelaria laterifolia, Passiflora incarnata can be used to maintain healthy sleep patterns and promote optimal balance of sleep-related hormones involved in the sleep cycle.

   Homeopathic remedies such as Coffea C30 and Nux Vom. C30 are also used to reduce insomnia and maintain restful, satisfying, and healthy sleep. Other natural supplements that are widely used to address the underlying causes of chronic insomnia are calcium lactate, magnesium lactate and vitamin B6.
