Valerian root tablets are usually a good natural sleeping aid, they calm the body to help you sleep, and it’s all natural and herbal.

What you need for natural sleep inducing property is Tryptopan. Unfortunately this is not
produced in the body, therefore next best source is food but again if the food is rich in proteins
tryptopan has to compete with other amino acids to reach the brain and usually it is a loser,
therefore the next best option is to eat foods rich in tryptopan with carbohydrate base. Here is
the sure fire way to induce sleep. In the evening take whole wheat brown bread slices. To this
you apply thin film of peanut butter. Though peanut is protein rich but the quantity is minimal
therefore it won’t come in the way of tryptopan. Fill these slices with tomato cubes and cucumber
slices with skin on (wash both tomatoes and cucumber thoroughly and see if you can get
organically grown one), Now have two or three sand witch and by the time it is 10p.m. your body
will have sufficient tryptopan which will help brain to produce melatonin and serotonin thus
helping you to go into snooze land. Try it for ten days and you will be happy with the results.
Good luck and God bless. Cheers! :o )

Melatonin. Its a natural sleep aid in either a spray or a pill I believe. You should be able to find it at a pharmacy or grocery store. It works great!

Melatonin.. 3mg. (You can try more if it is not strong enough, but it is probably fine, they are pills get them at something like Walgreens) It is even good for you in other ways as well–

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.
