this doesn't claim anything...but!

have you tried going to a health food or organic herbal site for a tea to help you at night?

you can keep drinking caffeinated sodas or coffee or caffeinated tea in the late afternoon if you are sensitive at night to sleep problems.

the good news is, an evening ritual, where you do not over do anything or commit to meetings, phone calls etc., that tax your mind and body (as they are out right now) avoiding them can get you back in slumberland in quick time!

excluding alcoholic drinking, drug abuse, and certain health issues like bi-polar disorder without taking your medication ( I think it's worth a try to add healthy teas to your regime to battle sleeplessness) .

eat earlier at night, digest and relax, with a light snack that is not sugar loaded or caffeinated at all .. jello and tapioca is okay, or peanut butter on celery, or a piece of fruit, or crackers and cheese...other things too, like frozen yogurts, ice cream w/o triggering flavors and additives.

remember, you are trying to get back to sleeping, expect some changes, and a tad of discomfort...

bathe and relax, put on sooting music and do not watch exciting tv programs until you have this under control

read relaxing books about how you will be well if you eat right, or calming literature, fun stories, add exercise in your day, or take a stroll at night after dinner.

then watch some relaxing film, or read a good book that has lots of peaceful characters in it...this is key!

do a facial routine, a nail or set up stuff for tomorrow routine, where you know what you will wear, etc.

now your mind is clear... don't answer the phone after 9 or so

then, please wear fresh and clean pj's... they are peaceful and fresh... as are your linens...spray lavender essential oil onto your pj's and linens if you need some aromatherapy, even drop some in your bath, or the laundry, and chamomile works too! Spray the rooms if you like, not synthetic sprays though, only natural essential oils give you the benefits.


Most important part, take your tea - a bedtime tea - maybe have some ginger snappes with them, but drink your tea!

passion flower, hops, chamomile, mint, fennel seed, white oak bark, elecampane root, orange peel,lemon verbena, spearmint, corn flower, lavander flower, rose petals, skullcap, lemon balm, valerian root,
...to name a few, these are the ingredients to a relaxing, soothing night time, sleep tea.

Here is a site that has organic nighttime teas, loose tea, so all you need is an infuser to seep it in the pot, or buy a pot with an infuser already in it, I have both and they sell them reasonably, but you can buy them anywhere.

I no longer have insomnia, yet I stay up late when I want - turn in early when I want.

I want you to have this site because it is so reasonable for the fresh organics you get, I am in awe of them... they are like the #1 site right now, like we are in the top at PC.

go to the herbal teas and find one that you want to try, get the most powerful you can though, if you are really in bad shape!

they have a section to learn about the ingredients, so please read.
remember natural is also powerful!
good luck, because you can lick this with behavioral changes and natural health aides, and good hygiene and a nighttime ritual!

Rituals are helpful for order. If something is out of control, it just needs some order.
After awhile, you can play, fluctuate, and balance accordingly.

Best to you all!

Drink night teas, and then, if you really want to help your metabolism and nerves, etc., get into other teas, like health teas.

Let me know what you think after two (2) weeks!

It is how long it took me to change 35 years of bad sleeping habilts.

Love and Peace
