This works like a charm...
Heat milk to the point just before it boils (frothy on top) then add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and 1 level tsp of sugar and sprinkle cinnimon on top stir very well and drink while hot. You'll be out in no more than 15-20 minutes.
The heating directions are crucial to activating the natural sedative in milk; the rest is just for flavoring.

Inhaling marijuana smoke shortly before going to bed has been known to aid in getting to sleep. You may feel groggy in the morning, but a quick run around the block will fix it, no problem. There are debates regarding the morality and in some cases the legality of this method, but hey...it works.

Chamomile tea steeped for 3 minutes with a bit of milk and 2 Tbsp natural honey, a hot shower to reduce your body's natural temperature as you lie down to rest and a good book as you lie down.

I have a 4 year old that has been having trouble sleeping. So I tried a new Epsom salt product called Pepsom Sports as recommended by a friend. I gave him a bath in the Pepsom right before bed and miraculously he was much more relaxed and slept through the night. I think it might have to do with the spearmint oil that they add because spearmint is good for relaxation.

What I have tried and seems to work for me....this may sound weird to some but give it a try....K lay in your bed on your back and put your hands on your chest (or in the most confortable position for you)then in your mind starting at your feet say my feet are really relaxed and feel them relax, then move up to your ankles and do the same, then move onto your calves, then knees and so on. Hopefully this will put you out, if not lay in the most comfortable position and try it. Hopefully this works for some.....another little tid bit is maybie put on some soothing music (like enya)..

Snuggle up in bed turn up the air conditioning and wrap yourself in all your blankets and watch a really boring documentary or something that does not interest you, and try to stay awake. You'll pass out before you even know it

Chamomile tea with 1.5 tbsp. honey and a bit of milk. It works, even for kids (honey is sleep inducing and it even has mother's 'warm milk' remedy.
