It is estimated that 25 percent to 33 percent of people in the U.S suffer from Insomnia or Insomnia like symptoms . Many people turn to Pharmaceutical drugs as a sleep aid . However it is strongly recommended not to use prescription sleeping pills . These pills have been proven to cause many adverse health conditions and even death in some cases . Follow the simply steps below to cure your Insomnia the natural way .

Difficulty: Moderate

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Melatonin
• Tea

1. Things To Avoid
   
   Avoid caffeine and alcohol . Caffeine and Alcohol are stimulants that will make it particularly hard to get a good nights sleep , especially if ingested near your bedtime .

2. Try Melatonin
   
   One great remedy for curing Insomnia is with the use of Melatonin . Melatonin is a natural and safe supplement that is usually taken in pill form . Your body creates its own Melatonin , however sometimes you need an extra boost to aid you in sleeping . I have personally used Melatonin myself and can say that this stuff really works . One or two tablets should knock you out for the night .
   
   Although taking Melatonin is completely safe you should avoid taking it every night . The reason for this is that you want your body to create its own Melatonin , so if you are taking Melatonin every night your body may create less Melatonin of its own , thus creating a dependency .

3. Exercise Regularly
   
   Exercise . Exercising for 30 to 60 minutes before your bedtime will tire you out and get your body into "rest mode" .

4. Try Meditating
   
   Sometimes the main cause for peoples insomnia is mental or emotional stress , such stress can be reduced or eliminated through meditation . Meditation has been used for centuries and has been shown to be very effective as a sleep aid . Meditation clears your mind of physical and emotional stress . You will find that once you clear your mind and eliminate racing thoughts , sleep will come much easier .

5. Tea
   
   Drink Tea . There are teas that are made specifically for use as a sleep aid . One such tea is Celestial Seasons Sleeping Time Tea . Simply prepare 20 - 30 minutes before going to bed .
