Insomnia is often caused by fear, stress, anxiety, medications, herbs, caffeine, depression or sometimes for no apparent reason. Make sure your bedroom is quiet and dark. Soak a tablespoon of mint leaves in a cup of water for an hour, drink every night. Check out http://useinfo-insomnia.blogspot.com/ for more info

    I believe in natural cures. I have insomnia as well. IT SUCKS! And it is miserable. Most of the time, it is because fo the foods i eat or the beverages i select. Stay away from caffine past 5 pm. Also, I could not figure out why my insomnia was getting worse, Then i realized i was drinking a whole pitcher of crystal light everyday. It had a nasty sweetner in it that causes so many problems with your health! It is called Aspertame. And insomnia and fatigue were also side effects. It is a sweetner that is approved by the FDA and its so bad! If you get a chance, google the dangers of aspertame. Its so sad that the FDA approved it and its even legal!

    I'm not big on medications either. The list of potential side effects is enough to keep me away from them.

    Check out this article, it's a pretty good summary of your different options.
