One effective remedy involves running very cold water the forearms and lower legs for several minutes just before hopping into bed. The shock of the cold by the warmth of the bed relaxes the body and leads to drowsiness. Another unusual approach has to do with eating - or precisely, chewing. Eating an apple just before bedtime, taking particular care to chew the peel slowly and thoroughly, can help eyelids droop. The reason? Apple peel contains a natural substance which induces relaxation. Not only that, the chewing action is relaxing in . Other than that, meditation, stretching, reading and even walking around prove helpful for many people. In short, there are many ways to avoid the pill-popping route. And if all fails, you can always try counting sheep!
