Having trouble falling asleep? Consider taking any or all of the following: the amino acid taurine, the herb kava kava, melatonin and 5HTP. Works like a charm for me. I like to take these supplements about 1 hour before bed to help get a great night of deep restorative sleep. You also may want to consider decreasing caffeine intake which can interfere with sleep. Make sure you have a comfortable mattress and your room is free from distractions. Keep your room a bit cool. Your body likes regularity, so it helps if you get to bed the same time each night. One hour of sleep before midnight equals the benefits of two hour of sleep after midnight. So there is wisdom in the old early to bed adage. Try to use your bed only for sleep and intimacy. Avoid reading and watching TV in bed. You want your mind to associate your bed with sleep. If you snore consider nasal strips and getting evaluated for sleep apnea. Fill your mind with pleasant thoughts before bed and create a relaxing routine for yourself; avoid pouring negativity into your mind before bed i.e. no news programs. Last, people who exercise during the day generally have deeper more restorative sleep, but don't exercise to close to bed or you might have trouble falling asleep.
