I Can’t Sleep! Help Me!! Natural Sleep Aids Or Pill Idk?
I am a 20 yr old college female. Since school started it has gotten harder and harder for me to get to sleep. Monday night was it I couldn’t get to sleep till 4 am and had an 8 am,slept through the alarm and woke up at 11 am. It has been this way for 2 nights now I can’t keep going like this. I have midterms coming up next week and without 8 hrs of sleep a night I don’t function well. I get in bed around 10 or 11 and try to go to sleep and just lay in bed for hours in the dark. Is there any over the counter meds I can take or all natural or whatever?

Besides warm milk, melatonin, 5-HTP and valerian you can find other remedies in web searches for “natural sleep aids” and “natural sleep remedies”.

First off, try to relax a bit. It’s probably the stress that’s causing the insomnia, and college is full of it! Try meditation, it works if your mind is racing:http://www.wikihow.com/Meditate
There are many natural sleep aids available.
Try Valerian Root, Passion Flower, Melatonin or Cat Nip (not the kind at pet stores, the one at your health food store).
I make a catnip tea out of the root, and add a passionflower tincture. It really seems to work.
Good luck!

All other answers before me sound great. Another great option..magnesium. The following product is amazing. http://www.petergillham.com/product-line/peter-gillhams-natural-calm.php It is a bit pricey though. You could also buy Epsom salts in the store (magnesium sulfate)…look by band aids and stuff. Put 2 cups in a hot bath and soak for at least 15 minutes. Do this at least 3x a week. You absorb 60% of what you put on your skin so it will help as well.

Try to do yoga breathing for 20 to 30 minutes, it will help.http://www.yoga-for-beginners-a-practica…

Try Valerian it’s a natural sleep aid and you can find it at Walmart. I sleep really sound when I use it and no side effects.
