My friend has not slept a full night's sleep in years and she'd like to know some remedy to a perfect night's sleep
Answer:
Sleep hygeine is the way to go. She needs to set up a bedtime routine. She needs to be consistant. My routine s to watch TV in the Living room (not the bedroom) until it is close to bedtime. I might finish my favorite show like Greys Anatomy then head to the bedroom. A shower, a few minutes spreading on body lotion and face cream, then some type of daily devotional/meditaton book. I read that and turn out the lights. I spend some time in bed reflecting on the mediataion and usually fall asleep doing that. This helps to change the stress of the day into thinking about something posiive instead of thinking about the day and all the stress's encounted and thinking about tomorrow and what it may bring. Then get up in the morning in time not to be to rushed to get to work. Have that cup of coffee while getting ready. One of the most important things to do is find a way to relax and turn off the day at bedtime. It is also very important to get up close to the same time each day. Sleeping to noon on Sat/Sun only sets you up to have difficulty falling asleep. If you go out those nights don't drink to much alcohol as that also interfers with sleep.I have to get up at 5:45 am for work. I usually hit bed about 10:00 to 10:30. On my days off I usuallly get up around 8-830am. I have found this way to sleep to be very effective. It was recommened by a psychiatrist and it works.

If your insomnia is a result of stress and anxiety, the best thing you can do is to address the causes of your stress and anxiety. Eliminating or reducing the influence of the cause of your insomnia will eliminate or reduce your anxiety and enable you to get a decent sleep again. If that is impossible, or if it is going to take some time to resolve itself, then you need to learn how to cope with and live above and beyond the causes of your stress. If you have suffered a loss or are worried about a future loss, professional counseling may be just what you need to help you develop the necessary coping skills to deal with loss.On the other hand, if a medical condition such as back pain, arthritis or an illness is making you lose sleep, you should, of course, seek treatment which will treat the condition and eliminate or reduce pain. If you are taking medication to treat a medical condition, and if that medication contains caffeine, ephedrine or amphetamine, you should try to find alternate medications that will treat your condition but allow you to sleep. Doing this should allow you to return to a normal sleep pattern.If your lifestyle is interfering with your sleep, you should consider making necessary changes. For example, if you drink a lot of coffee or tea in the evening, you may wish to stop doing that or, at least reduce your consumption of those beverages. If you drink caffeine-laced soft drinks late in the day, if you stop doing that, you’ll see an improvement in your sleep. If you do not exercise vigorously at least twice a week, and if you have a job that is not physically taxing, you should consider becoming more physically active. If you’re getting stressed at work, see if you can make some changes that will remove what is stressing you. Make sure that you take whatever vacation time is available to you—don’t be so married to your work that you don’t get away from it for at least two weeks per year. If you are involved in negative relationships that are “dragging you down”, see what you can do to improve those relationships. However, if improvement is not possible, you may want to consider severing ties with that person or substantially reducing the frequency of contact with that person. Whatever improvements you can make in your relationships with others will help you get the sleep you need.
Besides these steps, there are other natural techniques that you can use to get drug-free refreshing sleep. One of these techniques is increasing your exposure to sunlight. Others are taking hot baths, changing your sleep routines, and changing the way you think about sleep. In fact, there a numerous alternatives to drug-induced sleep. Take the time to find out more about them and you’ll be rewarded with safe, natural sleep.

If you are stressed out all the time it makes it hard to sleep.
One of the reasons for this is that the chemicals in your brain get depleted because they get used up by your daily stressful grind. The answer is to replace these neurotransmitters. You do this by eating foods high in amino acids, such as turkey or ham, or by taking a supplement. It takes a lot of eating to replace them, so the supplement is probably easier. I use Neubecalmed for this. Here's the link.
Valerian root. It is an all natural herb that promotes sleep and relaxation.
Alternative: warm bath, herbal tea. Maybe a white noise machine or a cd with nature sounds, like rain.Alot of people are more sensitive to light or noise than they think.
Non alternative: there are newer, less addictive prescriptions like Lunestra.
Do not watch the evening news prior to bedtime,
or watch any violent programs.
Calcium helps people sleep, eating a baked potato has been known to help. Relaxation techniques with deep breathing.
Some people take St. John's Wort 300mg
