    Hmmm - I've used catnip and chamomile tea before, but I've never heard of adding lavender to it. *makes a mental note*

      I love melatonin. It's the only thing that works for me aside from Benadryl, and it doesn't leave me groggy like Benadryl does. I get my melatonin at Target. Do talk it over with your doctor or pharmacist first, though.

        I use 3 parts chamomile, 2 parts catnip and one part lavender. Do yourself a favor with catnip tea, though, and do NOT add any sort of sweetener. Makes it taste even worse than it does plain.

          I told my doctor that I was waking up every 2 hours even though I take Ambien CR and Melatonin, he was stumped and had no suggestions for me.

            I had isomnia at least since my teens and melatonin and Benadryl were the only remedies that worked for me. BTW, try Vitamin Shoppe for melatonin.

              I've tried a lot of different remedies, but I need something I can take on a constant basis, and I know that sleeping pills aren't good for that. I tried Valerian root, since it isn't harmful long term, but I have very odd dreams and nightmares when I take it and I don't fall asleep smoothly. Melatonin works. I have been very happy with it and have noticed I actually have much less need for antidepressants taking it. I also have less anxiety issues.
