Today we're going to look at the best home remedies and cures for insomnia. Some people prefer to treat their insomnia with herbal remedies which are usually temporary treatments.

Insomnia can be related to anxiety and oppression as these are psychological factors that can cause the mind and body not be able to prepare for sleep. Depression and anxiety can cause the mind and body to instead concentrate on trying to solve a problem rather than just sending the body into sleep.

Many people looking for home remedies or natural cures for insomnia start with herbal remedies such as Valerian root or St. John's wort tea. Sometimes these can provide help for people with insomnia. But you may choose to try to deal with the core of the problem rather than treating it with tea or herbs. If you want a tea or tincture that is not as strong as valerian root then you could go for some chamomile tea which is great for relaxing the body.

If you examine your sleep hygiene you may find that you are doing some things that disturb your ability to follow sleep such as reading a magazine or watching TV right before bed. Doing these activities too close to bedtime might inhibit your body's ability to prepare and fall asleep naturally.

If your insomnia is not caused by sleep hygiene or lack of sleep preparation it could be due to anxiety and worry in your life. You lay in bed worrying about your relationship or some other problem in your life that you can't seem to deal with. The best solution is to face this problem head on and be honest with yourself about it. Is it fear or is it is a relationship problem?

Keep your journal or a little notebook or a digital device to keep track of your progress and to learn what your specific problems with insomnia are.
