Natural remedies 'can help insomniacs'

Insomniacs do not have to turn to prescription drugs in order to get a good night's sleep, one nutritionist has claimed.

Jennifer Simpson-Green says she has been using natural sleep aids for more than five years and she swears by them, NBC has reported.

She now uses a natural combination of valerian root, chamomile, passion flower and melatonin.

Ms Green stated about 20 minutes after taking her concoction "you start to feel like you just got done working out and you're kind of tires and then after that you realise your mind isn't racing quite so much".

She added another benefit is that you do not experience the groggy feeling you can get with some sleep aids.

People who have tried everything to get a good night's sleep and still struggle when it comes to dropping off may benefit from changing their mattress.

Tempur mattresses are specifically designed to offer extra support.
