When those zzz's don't come easy- here's a few night owl tricks!

I don't always sleep well and am usually up a few times over night. The odd time when I'm really tired I do sleep well but not always. I have developed a few tricks to make me sleepy, which may help you too! The first thing I have is a powdered natural health drink called 'Calms'. It is just a powdered form of magnesium that you add to warm water and sip a bit. Kind of tastes like the old Alka Seltzer for heartburn- but I think they are both mineral-based so that's the reason why. This drink mostly does the trick but some nights sleep can be stubborn. If i still can't sleep, I will drink a half cup of warmed milk that I have heated up in the microwave and will do this up to two times. That is, if it doesn't work right away, but usually it does. There's a protein in the milk that is calming. At one time I also had a night herbal tea with a bit of melissa and valerian in it and it was great too, But my milk and the powdered magnesium usually do the trick. It's frustrating not sleeping so i am glad I have these little tricks to help. The other trick is watching the weather channel---LOL! The music puts me right over... What do you do if you can't sleep? Samson- my son's dog
