Dr. Heidi Fowler answered

Specializes in Psychiatry

Yes: Warm up & sip on milk, (tryptophan) or sip on chamomile tea. Melatonin or vallerian root can both help. Retire & rise same time each day. Keep bedroom dark & cool & use only for sex & sleep. Turn off tv. No naps. Exercise regularly but not in late evening. No caffeine for 6 hrs & no alcohol or tobacco w/i 2 hrs of sleep. Keep dinner moderate sized & finish at least 2 to 3 hrs before sleep. Can.
