Answer 7

I take melatonin, which is a natural occuring hormone in humans.  No  side effects.

Answer 8

In Chinese medicine, a common cause of insomnia is Liver Qi Stagnation as the Heart houses the mind during sleep and insomnia is often a sign of Heart Heat.  Liver disorders lead to Liver Heat that tends to rise and "attack the Heart", thus the "Dragon Rises" and causes insomnia.

There are many natural 'cures' that calm the mind and that soothe the Liver energy.

Answer 10

i am unsure of the causes but i would say a busy mind and you can decrease insomnia by : not eating 3 hours before you go to bed, eliminating caffeine from your diet, exercising in the mornings, not going on the computer or watching tv an hour before you go to bed, not having a tv in your room, not checking the clock when you are trying to sleep , reading before you go to bed, taking Valerian Root pills - they naturally induce sleep, drinking sleepytime tea helps me too
