8 Natural Remedies That May Help You Sleep

Before you rush to the drugstore to buy an over-the-counter sleep medication, try one of the following natural sleep remedies. Many of these can not only help you fall asleep & stay asleep, but they may, also, promote muscle relaxation.  "These are safer and have fewer side effects than OTC medications," says Jacob Teitelbaum, MD, author of From Fatigued to Fantastic and medical director of the national Fibromyalgia and Fatigue Centers.
Magnesium and calcium Magnesium & calcium are both sleep boosters. When taken together, they become even more effective. Plus, by taking magnesium, you cancel out any potential heart problems that might arise from taking calcium alone. Take 200 milligrams of magnesium, lower the dose if it causes diarrhea, and 600 milligrams of calcium each night.

Find a spray with real lavender & spritz it on your pillow before bedtime. Or buy a lavender-filled pillow. Melatonin Melatonin is the hormone that controls sleep. Although some experts recommend taking higher doses, studies show that lower doses are more effective.

Yoga or meditation Choose gentle yoga or stretching, not vigorous power or ashtanga yoga, which could energize you instead. Try easy yoga stretches in bed followed by simple meditation. Close your eyes and, for 5 to 10 minutes, pay attention to nothing but your breathing. L-theanine This amino acid comes from green tea & not only helps maintain a calm alertness during the day, but also a deeper sleep at night. However, green tea doesn't contain enough L-theanine to significantly boost your REM cycles. Take 50 to 200 milligrams at bedtime. Valerian Valerian is one of the most common sleep remedies for insomnia. Numerous studies have found that valerian improves deep sleep, speed of falling asleep, and overall quality of sleep. However, it's most effective when used over a longer period of time. About 10% of the people who use it actually feel energized, which may keep them awake. If that happens to you, take valerian during the day. Otherwise, take 200 to 800 milligrams before bed.
