I have trouble falling asleep and staying asleep. I sometimes take sleeping pills but they leave me drowsy during the day and I'm never fully rested or feel fully awake.

Are there any good home remedies that I can try to cure my Insomnia?

Try drinking some warm milk before going to bed. Sometimes people can get to sleep by drinking some warm milk.

It's like a natural sedative.

Avoid caffeine around 3 hours before bed and avoid electronics about an hour before bed.

The light from electronic screens messes with our bodies internal clock.

Try staring at the ceiling for awhile. I find staring at the ceiling puts me to sleep very quickly.

If all else fails you might have to resort to taking a sleeping pill. I hate taking sleeping pills but even sometimes I have to resort to them otherwise I'd be too dang tired and not alert during the day.
