Falling asleep: Like dr. Chand, i would recommend trying good sleep hygiene first. If that is not successful - warm milk (tryptophan), chamomile tea or melatonin can be helpful to fall asleep. 1. Keep a regular bedtime & wakening time (to include weekends). Get up the same time each day, regardless of what time you fell asleep. 2. Make a regular, relaxing bedtime routine. Relaxing rituals prior to bedtime may >.
