Do you need pills to fall asleep?

Well, stop taking them!  That's right, there are other, natural, safe ways to help you get the sleep you need.

Here's the story.

And here's the deal:  I read.  Almost every night, I read.  Sometimes, if I'm really tired, I get through one page of a book.  Then, I sleep.  But it works... I don't toss and turn and try to find the right place...by the time I've read until I feel tired, my body AND mind are ready for sleep.

I haven't (yet) had a problem with waking up in the middle of the night -- but, if I did, I think I'd try more reading to lull me back to sleep.

Reading is a way to reduce stress and help you focus.  Getting relaxed is a key to good sleep, and reading helps there, too.
