ok i looked up insomnia on wikipedia and it says that herbs and weed can cause insomnia however it later says they can treat it. i dont get it
1. Warm milk before bed- not an old wive’s tale- it actually has a chemical in it that promotes sleep (must be warm)
2. Warm bath at bedtime- not a shower.
3. Read a BORING book, like chemistry or something like that.Likewise, a very boring TV program (the weather?) If you read or watch something you like it will defeat the purpose as it will be stimulating.
4. DO NOT take a nap during the day
5. Stay away from caffeine and caffeinated products/drinks
6. Go to bed at a decent time, and don’t sleep more than 8-9 hrs. Don’t "sleep in"- set your alarm and get up early in the a.m.
7. Do not exercise in the evenings.
Valerian Root..great for insomnia..all natural..pills smell a little but they work. for me .no side effects

Some foods can affect different people differently. What you eat can further the differences.
If your having a problem sleeping, start avoiding those things that could cause it.

Pot has a different effect on different people. Some people will become sleepy and tired while others will feel more alert.
I don’t Wikipedia was talking about pot/weed when they mentioned that herbs can treat insomnia. There are quite a few herbal remedies that are used to treat insomnia.
Valerian Root, Kava Kava, St. John’s Wort are a few..Other
over-the-counter remedies include Melatonin and Tryptophan. These are naturally occuring substances in your system. These usually do not have any side effects.
