For me, sleeping problems can be devastating. After all, I have to wake up between 0400 and 0500 to get ready to head out to work, where my work day starts at 0700. If I don't sleep well at night, I am a wreck at school, and clearly not at my best.

I've tried prescription sleep aids in the past. They are a particularly bad choice for me, as I end up hung over until nearly noon when I use them. Besides, I have to be prepared to assist my wife overnight if she needs it, and a medication that knocks me into too deep a sleep makes that impossible.

I've tried over the counter med as well. All I'll say is that most have not worked for me. I've also modified my diet so that I don't do caffeine after noon.

That leads me to the issue of herbal supplements. I've not tried them out of concern about how they will impact my diabetes and blood pressure medication. However, I recently found out about one, Serenite, that is non-habit forming, does not cause drowsiness, and will not interfere with my other medications. Its ingredients include Avena sativa, Scuttelaria laterifolia, Passiflora incarnate, Coffea C30, Nux Vomica C30, eacheof which has positive benefits according to those knowledgeable in honmeopathy and herbalism.
