Some people swear by warm milk.

Have you tried eliminating caffeine from your diet?

I've also heard that taking tryptophan supplements (on an empty stomach) can help. Tryptophan-rich foods can sometimes also make one sleepy (e.g. turkey).

My trick for getting to sleep is staying up as late as I possibly can before going to bed. Being in the "falling asleep standing up" phase makes it fairly easy for me to fall asleep once I actually lie down in bed. I know this isn't a great solution, but it helped me eliminate those dreaded hours of lying awake not being able to fall asleep.

Are you having trouble with falling asleep when you first go to bed or staying asleep all night? Some medications can lengthen the amount of time it takes for you to fall asleep once you go to bed, so if you are taking any medications, you might try eliminating them one at a time to see if any of them are impeding your sleep.

Alcohol also makes me sleepy.

Good luck, Rose3.
