Anybody know a good natural sleep remedy? Melatonin doesn't get along with me, and valerian root doesn't work for me. Any other ideas?

Do you get 30 mintues or more of exercise a day? When I exercise often I sleep better. Also, I take a HOT bath, and go to bed afterward. As my body temperature drops from my bath, it a natural signal to the body to go to sleep.

I agree! A hot bath after exercising is great! But if you're trying to relax avoid watching tv, playing games, or the computer because those things are mind stimulators.

Play the card game Solitare. I have so much trouble sleeping but when I play this in bed, on a DS, I find that my mind is concentrating on one thing only and more relaxed and I often find myself falling asleep without being aware of it. My mind is always racing when I try to sleep so I have to do things that let me switch off. I also find reading in bed is very helpful, some people will say it is best to read a gentle, relaxing book but I quite often read a horror story with no problems.
