Drink warm milk before you go to sleep. Something happens to the milk when it is warmed up. It has worked for me but I also take Melatonin which takes a week to work but you dream a lot. It is supposed to be natural and I think it is for people like me who are older and do not make as much melatonian. Check it out and also talk to a doctor before taking any supplements. Good luck.
You said no pills, but Calm Forte’ is good. They are pills, but they’re all natural; none of that becoming addicted to them stuff. I take these every once in a while. You can get them at a health food store.
I use melatonin but it takes a few days to start working. It is something that our body produces naturally but some people do not produce enough. I also meditate sitting crosslegged on my bed. That always makes me sleepy. Don’t watch t.v. before bedtime, don’t exercise or do anything strenous right before bed. Although execising a few hours before bedtime is good. Read or something relaxing like listening to music. Cammomile tea. Warm milk.
Make sure you are getting plenty of exercise each day.
Here are some good ideas:
1. Do something that gets your heart rate up a bit like, walking, running, biking, and swimming.
2. Eat Whole, Organic foods like: Broccoli, Cabbage, Organic Brown Rice, Beans, Spinach, Sweet Potato, Apples, and other fruits and vegetables in their Natural State.
3. Avoid eating corn, white bread, white rice, white potatoes, candy, sodas, chips, and anything else that you already know you shouldn’t be eating.
4. Drink clean water as your beverage of choice. Avoid Fruit drinks and fruit juices (unless YOU juice them yourself)
5. Stop smoking, drinking beer & wine, and drinking coffee.
6. Get 8 hours of sleep each night.
7. Hang out with people who want to be healthy.
8. Avoid anything with High Fructose Corn Syrup.
9. Look into taking a multi-vitamin.
Tone up the muscles:
1. Join a gym and get a trainer.
2. If you’re short on cash, start a light stretching & yoga regimen.
3. Do push-ups, and light dumbbell curls for the upper body.
4. As I said above, walk, run, swim, and or bike
5. Take an aerobics class, a yoga class, or some other fitness class.
6. Join the local YMCA.
7. Buy or borrow this book by Bill Pearl called GETTING STRONGER.
In the book, he describes everything you need for a great fitness plan.
8. Crunches & Curl ups for the abs.
Mental Health:
1. Get a friend to talk to each day about your feelings.
2. If you have some money or insurance, get a counselor to talk to.

4. Join a support group for the issue you’re dealing with.
5. Ask your Higher Self (or God) for guidance.
6. Start keeping a diary or journal about your feelings & thoughts.
7. Write a ‘gratitude’ list every night.
8. Do something that makes you happy each day like: listen to your favorite music, draw, paint, write, or anything creative.
9. Do something for someone else who needs help.
10. If the above suggestions don’t improve your mental health, talk with your therapist about the possibility of taking some medication.
