For awhile I also had trouble sleeping. Every little noise would wake me up and I could never fall back asleep. I don't like taking meds so I used alternative methods. I researched online and read alot of health books. Here's what worked for me.
•Exercise regulary (very very important- even if it's just taking a walk)
•Eat healthy - lots of fruits and veggies
•Meditate/Pray
•Take your Multi-vitamin
•Lavender oil - I burn it every night in my bedroom before I go to sleep and I also use a lavender massage oil on back of my wrists and little on my pillow.
•Chamomile tea/Bed time tea
•Natural Calm (a relaxing magnesium supplement you drink it warm like a tea) I take it every night with Calcium citrate and vit. D
•I play very low ocean sounds all night - white sounds are very relaxing find the one that works best for you. (I find that when I forget to turn it on I wake up in the middle of the night)
•Hot shower before bed
Pick a few at a time and see what works best for you. Good luck I hope this helps
