While you can take all types of herbs that help you relax, in Chinese medicine you have to address the underlying root cause of the insomnia in order to cure it for good. In most cases, Liver Qi Stagnation is an underlying condition leading to insomnia and herbs to soothe the liver can be used. There are also meditations and acupressure points that can help you sleep.

I use a LOW dose of Brugmansia, which typically relaxes my body and mind enough to let me sleep. I also suffer from insomnia, and I really dislike the pharmaceutical route. Brugmansia can cause some strange dreams, which is nice sometimes too. A leaf or two, boiled in water, with some sugar added.

Go online and research Hemi-Sync or other brainwave synchronizations. There are specific ones that you can download/buy for sleep. They work, trust me. I've been suffering from insomnia for awhile now, and every night I listen to these syncs.
