What should i take to help me sleep?

When my thyroid levels were all over the place, I suffered from terrible insomnia. Instead of taking random sleeping pills, get your thyroid profile and basic vitamins checked. A doctor can easily find the root cause and help you sleep better.

You can try drinking warm milk with a pinch of nutmeg powder or turmeric before sleeping, it is a very good old remedy. But if you are experiencing severe sleeplessness along with high anxiety or breathing trouble, please don't wait and consult a doctor.

I manage my diabetes very strictly, so I avoid those sweet nighttime health drinks that claim to help you sleep. Simple lifestyle changes like sleeping at a fixed time and limiting tea or coffee after 4 PM worked best for me.

While melatonin supplements or herbal teas are popular online, it is not safe to self-medicate for chronic insomnia. Sleeplessness can be a symptom of underlying physical or psychological issues. It is best to consult a general physician or a sleep specialist for proper guidance.

At this age, I have realized that a busy mind is the biggest enemy of sleep. Try to finish your dinner early and do some deep breathing or walking on the terrace before bed. Don't worry, your sleep cycle will improve once you let go of daily stress.
