Answers:
Hi,

Yes I think just taking a good magnesium supplement on its own might be worth a try.
also, cut back on stimulating foods such as chocolate, caffeine etc.

Try drinking some warm chamomile tea before bed & drop some Lavender Essential Oil on your pillow & also rub it into your temples - this is so soothing & has been proven to help insomniacs.

Good luck! xHealth Question & Answer

There are herbs that are helpful for sleep, eg, valerian root, kava kava, chamomile, hops, passion flower, skullcap. If you get the real herbs, you can make teas out of them. Otherwise get the herbs in capsule form. Probably, valerian root and kava kava are the best.

You can also try trytophan, 5-HTP or melatonin (1-2 mg). I would not take melatonin for over a month unless a doctor says it is ok. Melatonin is a hormone produced by the pineal gland. If you take too much, your pineal gland might get "lazy" and produce less melatonin naturally. Life Extension and TwinLabs are probably the best brands, in that order.

A warm bath is a great way to relax in order to sleep. If you can
