* Make Your Bedroom a Sleep Sanctuary : Your bedroom should be a sleep cave. Your bed should only be used for sleep (and romance). Remove anything that can tempt you to stay awake or get you upset. Put the television and laptop away.
*Stop consuming all caffeinated foods and beverages at least four hours before your bedtime; test this until you have a good handle on how long before bedtime you need to cut out the caffeine.
*Taking a relaxing warm shower or bath and use aromatherapy to help you reach a calm, drowsy state.
Turn off the television to help become drowsy.
*Turn off lights in the home as you get close to your bedtime. The presence of artificial light can trick the brain into thinking that it’s daytime. This makes it harder to sleep. A dark room helps with melatonin production and when melatonin is plentiful sleep is much more likely to occur.
* The fresh or dried leaves of maypop (Passiflora) are used to make a tea that is used to treat insomnia, hysteria, and [[epilepsy (Seizure)]].
* [[Royal Jelly]] has traditionally been used to address bronchial asthma, [[pancreatitis]], [[Liver Diseases]], insomnia, [[Stomach Ulcers]], [[Kidney Diseases]], bone fractures, immune problems, and skin disorders, but royal jelly is also effective for increasing energy.
* Eat foods high in magnesium, such as halibut, almonds, cashews, and spinach.
* Eat foods high in Vitamin B complex, such as leafy green vegetables, nuts, and legumes.
* Eat a light snack combining protein and carbohydrates, such as peanut butter and crackers or cereal and milk. Avoid heavy meals or junk food binges.
* Brew a strong cup of chamomile tea before bed (2-3 bags).
* Another herb, sage, also works as a natural sleep aid. Just steep 4 tablespoons in a cup of hot water, steep for four hours, strain, and reheat to drink.
