Rapid Relief for Insomnia: Top 5 Natural Remedies

Are you tired of lying awake at night, struggling to get the restful sleep you need? Insomnia can be a frustrating condition, but natural remedies can help. Here are the top 5 natural remedies for improving your sleep. 

Cannabis Sleep Gummies

According to a survey by the American Academy of Sleep Medicine, 25% of people with sleep issues turn to cannabinoid-based solutions. That percentage – six points higher than prescription sleep meds, by the way – is driven in part by what works best for consumers and reflects a growing shift to natural remedies. CBN is the star cannabinoid of the sleep world, especially when paired with CBD and a modest dose of THC. Our triple-tested FX Sleep Marionberry Plum Gummies features a 3:2:1 formula of CBN, CBD and delta-9 THC derived from federally compliant hemp, which means they’re available online and at retail in most of the United States. 

Meditation

Before going to bed, a meditation session – even if brief – can help. Studies found that medication can decrease the production of stress hormones like cortisol and increase the body’s natural production of melatonin. Likewise, it can help regulate the body’s circadian rhythms and synchronize its natural sleep-wake cycles. Unlike doomscrolling in bed, medication helps calm the mind and relax the body. 

Exercise

Like meditation, regular physical exercise helps regulate the body’s circadian rhythms, reduce stress and increase melatonin levels. Studies suggest that exercise can also improve mental health and reduce sleep disturbances like restless leg syndrome and sleep apnea. That said, working out in the morning or early afternoon is generally more effective at improving sleep quality than nighttime routines. 

Supplements and Teas 

Several herbs and minerals may also help. Valerian root and chamomile, herbs used for centuries to promote relaxation and improve sleep quality, can be consumed as a tea or supplement. Likewise, magnesium is a mineral that can relax the body and mind, making it easier to fall asleep. 

Aromatherapies and Warm Baths

The essential oils of chamomile, lavender and ylang-ylang are also available in aromatherapies that can promote relaxation and improve sleep quality. You can use these oils in a diffuser, but alternatively, many essential oils can be added to a warm bath, which also helps with sleep by lowering your core temperature.
