    Does anyone have a home remedy for insomnia? I'm open to almost anything at this point.

    No home remedies work on me. Fairly decent results with Shiffs 'knock-out' a melatonin and herb blend. Found on amazon

    Watch space documentaries. You can find a lot of them on youtube.... They're pretty interesting so they take you away from day-to-day worries and thoughts, and the cgi images of drifting out among the stars will put you right out.

    Once the video ends, your computer will eventually go into sleep mode, so you won't even have to wake up to turn it off.

    Try it, you'll see.

    Melatonin can also help, but approach with caution - that shit is a hormone.

    The ingredients are
    Melatonin is a natural hormone produced by your body. Melatonin plays an important role in regulating your sleep cycle, helping you return to a healthy sleep routine. Melatonin levels in your body tend to decrease as you age.

    L-Theanine
    L-Theanine Is an amino acid (a building block of protein) that is commonly found in herbal teas. L-Theanine exhibits a relaxing effect on the mind by increasing alpha-wave activity. Relaxing is an essential part of falling asleep.

    Valerian Extract
    Is a perennial herb that has been used for centuries to promote relaxation and sleep. Valerian is thought to help improve the amount of time it takes to fall asleep and the quality of sleep.

    Hops Extract
    Research suggests that the combination of hops and valerian help increase alpha-waves. This then helps to reduce the amount of time it takes to fall asleep and improves the quality of sleep. The popular folk remedy for sleeplessness is a "pillow filled with hops."

    Lemon Balm
    Is also a perennial herb in the mint family that has been used for centuries to promote relaxation and sleep. Early research suggests that lemon balm promotes a calm and relaxed state of mind, an important part of falling asleep.

    Chamomile Flower
    Is a daisy-like flower that is well known for its calming effects and use in herbal teas. It is traditionally used to promote calmness and sleep.

    Passion Flower
    Is a truly beautiful flower that is also well known for its calming effects apart from its vibrant colors and unique appearance. Passion flower is traditionally used to promote sleep.

    Also a key is to go to sleep at the same time everyday.

    Its all a matter of habit and mind over matter.

    I also have a little bit of classical music playing on my radio. Works for me.

    Calcium is a natural sedative, so if you take a calcium supplement, take it before you go to bed.

    Classical music or an unabridged audio book on cd does it for me. A large meal does the trick, too.
