Almost 64 million Americans regularly suffer from insomnia each year. But I'm sure most of us have experienced times when we just can't fall asleep or stay asleep. Here are a few ways to beat insomnia/sleeplessness.
1. Have a nightly routine to signal your mind that it's time to calm down and prepare you for sleep
2. Use lavender; the scent is scientifically proven to promote relaxation
3. Eat a handful of walnuts before bed because they are a good source of a sleep-enhancing amino acid.
4. Don't like walnuts, eat a banana before bed since it is a great natural source of melatonin, the sleep hormone.
5. If you still can't get to sleep, get up and do something. Trying to fall asleep can exacerbate the problem.
