Boiron's Quietude is a combination mixture containing 4 homeopathic remedies. If the remedy the individual patient actually needs is one of them, it might work. If not, sleeplessness may continue. Consulting with a classical homeopath could find a remedy more individualized to the specific patient.

Thank you for bringing a more precise answer. Quietude is a "generic homeopathic remedy" think worth 2 try. Agree w/you that a consultation with a classical homeopath would b the best!

Sleep onset: Sounds like you're not satisfied with how quickly you fall asleep -- but once you do, you sleep through the night? So, is your room noisy? Tv/lights/computer still on? Room too warm? Pets wanting attention? Do you work out just before bed? These can all disrupt you. Create a relaxing evening ritual -- such as hot bath, soft music, gentle reading, etc -- preparing for sleep. See if it helps.
