Turn off the TV earlier and relax your mind.

Write everything that is bothering you in a diary.

A warm bath.

A mug of warm milk, or and a banana, both contain tryptophan which helps you sleep.

Melatonin, valerian, and chamomile.

If you are suffering a bout of insomnia go and see your doctor, he may be able to give you something short term, I've had antihistamines before which helped me get into a sleep routine.

There are pressure points all over your body.

The ones you need are in four places.

1) Left or right foot, between your big toe and the next toe.

Place your heal in between and rest it there for less then

five minutes. That's the best one. 2) The same applies to your

hands. Between your thumb and index finger. Above all else,

clear your mind of all dialogue. Stop the conversation.

The sound of the ocean is great for that.

There are quite a few natural remedies for insomnia. I've tried a few of them and believe it or not, they all helped me to fall asleep and stay asleep longer. I prefer natural remedies instead of taking medication because it saves money, they're safer and they have fewer side effects. Here are some of them:

- Magnesium and calcium. Both of these help with insomnia and when they're used together, they can increase the effectiveness. You should take 200 milligrams of magnesium and 600 of calcium every night before you go to bed.

- Wild lettuce. This is known to reduce anxiety and boost sleep. Take no more than 120 milligrams before bed.

- Aromatherapy. This one is my most recommended. It's best to use lavender, so find a lavender spray with real lavender and spritz it on your pillow before bedtime.

....So many, many benefits in a happy marriage. I've always said good sex was always worth at least 3 hours of sleep if we had to get up in only 8 hours.

Hey, wanna tell you about my experience with anti-snoring devices. I bought that mouth piece after I read about it at https://www.exsnorer.org/reviews/gmss/. Didn't expect much but it turned out to work pretty fine. I stopped snoring, but if we speak about conveniency then this device is not perfect. You'll have to get used to it. Besides, you have to clean it every time you gonna use it. And this routine can be quite irritating. Anyway, it was worth trying. And it was a good answer to my insomina, by the way!
