*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)]].
