how can i enjoy a sound sleep at ntie?

I was an insomniac at one point. I was scared to be put on sleeping pills so i asked some of my friends for some home cures. I would suggest first trying some sleeping pills but if they aren't for you then try this: drink warm milk before bed, use some lavender or vanilla lotion before you go to sleep and don't drink things like coffee, soda or tea before you sleep.
