I did try the ZMA, perhaps it worked in some sense but I still found myself awaking after a while. Chamomile tea I can't do anymore. Was drinking it and it assisted with falling asleep but one night, a long time ago, perhaps just a random stomach bug, I got sick. Well the taste has become associated with.that incident and as a result, I just cannot consume it anymore. The melatonin is within the Alteral (sp?) I have been using of late along with trytophan (sp?). Clearly helps with initially falling asleep so that isn't really my problem, its staying asleep and hitting the REM that I struggle with during the nights. I did have a lavender spray for the bed and pillows, didn't feel I gained any further rest with the scent. Appreciate the quick responses and great tips! Keep em coming, its a fight I must win. Rest is necessary for the body and mind.
