I do believe a good long walk during the day helps but it's not often I can walk far now due to an auto immune condition called PMR..
I take steroids for my PMR and they are known to affect sleep patterns.
I can't win really.

Re: Natural remedies...
I sometimes take Griffonia seed extract, it's 100% natural, along with valerian if I can't sleep. Only occasionally these days, or if there's something coming up which is on my mind.Herbal teas mainly, pukka do some excellent ones, for sleep and general well-being.
Epsom salt baths with lavender are one of my favourite things too.
Or wine will do it, but trying to watch calories.

To help do away with insomnia...Tisserand Sleep Better pillow mister
Yogi Tea Bedtime Tea
Open windows with earplugs if necessary
Blindfold if there is too much light
If all else fails, a radio tuned to a talk station with the volume a little below what you would normally use for comfort.
This all allows me to sleep after night shifts.

Re: Natural remedies...
Hi Carol I've never taken anything to help with sleep but I often listen to guided meditations listening stops you thinking .You can hear guided meditations on you tube, my preference is the gentle english voice as other accents can be a bit harsh for sleep .
Hope this helps

Re: Natural remedies...
I probably shouldn't say this but I used to take painkillers if I couldn't sleep. They help if you can't get comfy because of aches and pains in your muscles or joints. But I would take two paracetamols plus two ibuprofen and sometimes instead of the ibuprofen I'd take nurofen plus (with codeine). Plus a kalms. Probably very naughty of me.06-06-2021, 08:33 PM

Blimey Annie, 5 pills to get to sleep?
I'd be more frightened I wouldn't wake up in the morning!
