Hi Bjorker and welcome to Psych Central, I understand the frustration of finding it hard to fall asleep as I am an insomniac myself and have been for a number of years and for various other health issues, and I therefore have enormous empathy for you.May I suggest a remedy that my late mother would always refer to as far as getting lets say desirable amount of sleep and she would recommend Valerian Root tea widely sold in various health stores. Believe it or not from my experience of sleep deprivation at one stage(before other complex issues for me arose) I found it to be quite effective.It has a real poignant odour to it whuch discourages a lot of people from using it...But effective possibly diluted and sweetened with a dollop of honey, makes it more easier to drink it.Another alternative which some claim to be beneficiary for nite cap is a banana and a glass of warm milk before one retires to bed ,as apparently banans a renknown to have some constituent in form of a natural sedative. All the best with your issues and wish you the ultimate success in overcoming your issues.Take Care.
