Natural Sleep Remedies

[RabbitsRock]

I have recently come off Mirtazapine & find that I now take a while to drop off plus I wake at least once in the night. I looked at Kalms & Nytol but they contain ethanol which I can’t have as I was alcohol dependent. Can anyone recommend a natural effective product?

I've heard sour cherry juice really helps with sleep, but I've never tried it or seen it in a shop!

Magnesium glycinate. I have gone from 4-5 hours a night to a solid 7-8.

I found Dr Stuart’s sleep tea very good, when I can find it! imagine it would be online.

Magnesium glycinate supplement 100%

I have magnesium with Vit B6 (bought to help with night time cramping) - would that help with sleep too?

Magnesium glycinate
What is it?
Where do you get it from?
How/when do you take it?

@CornishTeaTime I take two magnesium glycinate when I go to bed so about an hour before I go to sleep. I buy it on Amazon.

@Sharpkat does it make/help you sleep?

Reason why Im curious....

Family member has prostate cancer and meds make them restless at night, body is a bitwitchy they say 😀 so sleep is poor.
Consultant wont prescribe any more sleeping meds but has suggested some natural rememdies. Im wondering if this will helps

I definitely sleep so much better. My parents also take it and it has made a huge difference to them. I used to wake up every hour and be really restless and now I sleep through the whole night.

@RabbitsRock Ive posted above but have just seen your post suggestion.

Another vote for magnesium glycinate.

Do you take it every night?
Do you have any side affects?
Ive found this

@CornishTeaTime I take it every night. 2 capsules. I have one made by New Leaf. In each two capsules are 1040mg magnesium bisglycinate.

@Sharpkat have you had any side affects? Ive read sickness and diarrhea is common

This one?

@CornishTeaTime yep, that's the one I use.

@Sharpkat Strange as it says to help reduce tideness and fatigue!!!

No side effects for me at all. Just sleeping like a baby.

I took 2 Magnesium Glycinate last night to no avail I thought as I was still awake at 2.30 am
But
I didn't then wake till 8.30 so did get 6 hours.

Check out the Sleepstation website. It's a sleep school. Tell the website who your GP is and you'll either get it entirely free or with a large discount.

I'm doing it now. It seems to be working.
