Does anybody have any tried and tested tricks or remedies to help them sleep? I've tried natural supplements and Night Nurse, but they leave me feeling spaced out the next day and I'd rather just feel tired.

Anybody got any tips please?

You could try Valerian. Holland and Barrett sell it in liquid form

Try going for a walk before bed time or some exercise indoors.

Turn the computer off a hour or so before you.go to bed so your brain isn't as stimulated.

A couple of beers sometimes helps.

Read.

Meditation.

Play some music quietly in the background.

I tried all.kinds of things over the years, trying pills and potions just makes you rely on them.

Find something you feel.helps you relax.

Central

There is some antihistamine that is sold as a sleep aid, I think it's diphenhydramine usually. Antihistamines don't usually leave drowsiness, and are not sleeping tablets.

Otherwise, grow Lavender, so you've got the foliage year round to use - rub it, smell it and you can make a tea from it. Valerian is also a good natural sleep aid - it can be grown, or bought in most health food shops, and taken as a bitter tasting tea - imo.

If you are in bed and can't sleep, get up and do chores that are tedious and unliked, such as cleaning the floor with a small cloth etc. Don't toss and turn, tho wanking is ok.

Practice relaxation, not just when you want to sleep. Entering a calmer state becomes easier and quicker, as it's a skill to learn, like any other. Progressive relaxation is one I teach, where you separately move up from your feet to your head - don't start at your head. You relax your body, and your mind follows.

Don't look at blue lights, incl emissions from electric screens, as these will wake you body clock up.

If you can get melatonin, then this is a natural chemical that our bodies produce before night, that gets us into sleep mode. Prescription only in the UK, I think, but friends may have brought it over from overseas, where it's sold over the counter.

Try only to use your bedroom for sleeping, if you have persistent sleep problems. This will ensure your mind associates it with sleep.

Develop a going to bed ritual too - if we follow a ritual, we're likely to reassociate into the same state of mind that we connect to the habit.

Have a warm drink, something like hot milk. Check you're not taking stimulating stuff like caffeine late in the day - I don't drink after 6pm.

Be wary of drinking alcohol regularly to get to sleep, as it is habit inducing, of course.

Other stuff, like smoking, can also cause poorer sleep patterns.

Good luck!

A healthy mix of JD, tequila and jaegerbombs normally does it for me!

Failing that - reading any forum post containing the words 'grey', 'shades' and 50 - or searching through the 'why can't I get any meets' crap sends me straight off.

Try not to mix them though, could make an ugly variation of a snakebite!

Or the generic 'Rate the person above's tits/arse/genital warts/club foot' shite has me snoring like a pig by the end of page 15

You may need to try a few things. Cut down on caffeine, and don't have it before bed time.Dont eat too late. Excercise it good too.

I used to listen to audio books very quietly through my iPod. Worked wonders

Jaegerbombs would wake u due to the HIGH caffeine in the energy drink
