Anything with triptiphane in it (not sure if I spelled that correctly, pronounce it just as it's spelled)\nThis would include cheese, turkey, and sorry to say milk.\nI don't like milk much myself, so I drink vanilla soy milk instead.\nYummy!

The smell of lavender makes me sleepy. If I am pressed for time and need to sleep it has to be dark and I mean turn your alarm clock to the wall dark. As dark as you can make it. No tv, all those flickering lights from the screen in an otherwise dark room seems to really distract the mind and the eyeball. No music, unless you can pinpoint a song that you can kind of tune out and let your mind wander along with. No caffeine or exercise before bed...blah blah blah if all else fails turn on the weather channel.

Nyquil, Xanax, Ambian, Tylenol PM, Advil PM, etc...\n\nI know taking sleep aids is not good for you but neither is not sleeping.  I've had insomnia for most of my life so I usually try to take something once a week just so my body can rest

Get a good night's sleep.

A rigorous exercise set will release chemicals that will have you feeling pumped and refreshed even if you're exhausted before starting.\n\nAnd guided meditation (a half hour of deep breathing and mental and physical relaxation) can also give your mind the illusion that it's had a good night sleep already. But it's not a substitute, sleep a full 8 hours as soon as possible.

Buy something called Breathe Right strips. It opens the nasal airway and greatly prohibits, and sometimes stops completely, snoring.

*Take over-the-counter melanine tablets, or a benadryl.\n*Have a snack, especially a turkey sandwich and milk. Both contain melanine.\n*As much as possible, follow a regular schedule. No naps!\n*Make the room dark and quiet. \n*Then play the really boring alphabet game: pick a topic, like animals, plants, cars, something in all houses, whatever, and go from A to Z trying to come up with something for each letter. I do it, it works because it's so damn stupid and boring. The best list for me: terms relating to going to sleep. Example: abed, bed, cosy, drowsy, exhausted, fatigued...and so on. I'm always asleep before I finish the alphabet.

I would beware of non-natural remedies like chloral hydrate, Nembutal, etc.\n\nDo you get enough exercise?  When people work hard enough, they usually have no problem sleeping.  If your work is mostly mental, then you need to incorporate some prolonged physical activity into your daily routine.\n\nDo not drink any coffee or tea for three hours prior to bedtime.  Do not drink warm milk as some suggest.\n\nA glass of water at bedtime is helpful in many ways.\n\nYou can also look up insomnia on http://www.webmd.com\n\nI have allergies (ultra-severe).  I take benadryl, an antihistamine.  This is not natural either, but it has been used many, many years without obnoxious, toxic effects.\n\nIt is the ingredient in some mild OTC sleeping remedies, but do not buy them, you will pay more for the same ingredient you can get for less at the dollar store.\n\nJust look in the allergy med section, you can get 24 pills of 25 mgm each for a dollar.  Benadryl soothes bad coughing that will keep you up all night, also makes most people drowsy, very easy to fall asleep with inactivity.\n\nThis dose would not put me to sleep as I have had to use this for years, but it should do the trick for you.\n\nAnd you don't have to worry about it being so strong you will burn to death in a fire, or not hear someone breaking your door down &c.\n\nIf you chew it (transiently nasty) and swig it down with Ginger Ale it will work faster.  Do this about 15--20 minutes before bed.  But not earlier.\n\nIt is called diphenhydramine (the generic name), look for that rather than the brand name.  Do not take more than two or you will really get zonked out.\n\nThere are some herbal remedies to try, but avoid mixing these with other methods.  See what webmd says.

Chamomile tea, let cool and sweetened with a bit of honey is a good sedative for a very yound one. So too is peppermint tea done the same way, though chamomile is gentler on the system.\nOtherwise, there is an old wives tale that if you light a candle to each of the directions (North, East, South, and West) and ask for help as Mothers before  you have done throughout the ages, and place your wee one on the kitchen table on his back, and turn him counter clockwise three times slowly, his internal clock will be fixed. My Mom had it done on me, 23 years ago, haha, with a whole group of women attending (for good measure) and it worked just like Magick!\n\nGood Luck!\n\nBlessings,\n          Apple

Good thing "superman" and "judas rabbi" decided to sign in, to tell us that they had no answer to your question. That's helpful.\n\ni ahve a memnory foam topper and it kicks butt! i've been answering lots of questrions about it today, actuially. its soft, but i don't sink in too far and it has little channels so it doesn't get too hot. it wasn't cheap but its totally worth it. i think i'll get a bed pretty soon, when i get the money. just don't go cheap!\n\none of my friends got one at costco and it fell apart in like two months. i've had mine for like six months now and its fine. it also comes with a 20 year warranty. definitely the bets ones. get it at http://www.a1mattress.com
