I sometimes have insomnia and don't like to take sleeping pills of any kind. Sleeping pills can be addictive and have some nasty side effects. I have been using herbal supplements to help my sleep and they have been great. Melatonin is a natural sleep aide that is naturally in a person's body already and can be found herbal supplements. My son has autism and can't sleep a normal night's sleep without taking melatonin liquid in the evenings to help him sleep. Herbal supplements such as this are great for kids like my son with autism. I used to stay up half the night with him, praying that he would just go to sleep. He'd be up until after 2 or 3 am and had to get up at 6 for the school bus to arrive. Chamomile has been used also, for many many years, in adults with some insomnia. They even make a chamomile tea that a person can drink before bed. Chamomile can also be found in herbal supplements. There are more, they can be found online easily.
