Don’t lose sleep over it

If you have frequent sleepless nights filled with tossing and turning, this can create anxiety and cause a chronic problem. The people at Neal’s Yard Remedies have put together their top tips for banishing insomnia with natural remedies to help you relax and awaken feeling refreshed.

Herbs

Infuse 1tsp each of dried passionflower and chamomile herbs in 175ml of boiling water, and sip throughout the evening to help promote a state of relaxation before bedtime.

Essential oils

Roman chamomile is a calming and sedative oil to aid sleep – add two drops to 5ml of almond oil for a pre-bedtime massage to help you drift off peacefully.

Food

Sour cherries, goji berries, tomatoes, chillies, white or black mustard seeds, sprouted seeds, corn and rice all provide sleep-inducing melatonin – a bedtime glass of sour cherry has been shown to aid sleep.

In addition, keeping your bedroom dark and around 15.5C (65F) will also help promote restful sleep, as will taking regular exercise.
