Perhaps, you could try tart cherry juice. A recent pilot study published in the American Journal of Therapeutics found that the juice helped to extend sleep, remedy chronic insomnia, and relief stress.

Procyanidins and anthocyanins are the major compounds, or polyphenols, in tart cherries. These compounds was found to significantly extend sleep time, sleep efficiency, lower restlessness and stress.

The tart cherries used in the stufy was Montmorency tart cherries, which are the most common variety of tart cherries grown in the U.S., and are available year-round in dried, frozen, canned, juice and concentrated forms online.

I really love your comment about taking care of one's self and noticing your bodily signs, as recognition and realization of problems is often the first stage in resolving them.

Give it a try and see if it works.

Cheers.
