For an herbal method to help sleep I have used the following. Camomile tea , drink it a half hr before bed. Valerian root tablets, very smelly but works! There are a variety of herbal premixed products that have valerian root, and other herbs you can try. No light in bedroom even from glowing TV, clock etc. I have also used earplugs, face mask, music to enhance sleep,sound machine, lavender scented pillow case , room darkening shade and all kinds of pillows and sheets. Do not drink caffeine at least 4 hrs before bed, same with exercise or anything that keeps your mind going
doing bills etc) I try to remember a beautiful peaceful place I have been then use my imagination to feel, smell and relive the great feeling. It could be sand in your ties, the smell of pine needles, sun or rain on your face whatever makes you relax and smile inside! Good luck.
