Sleep Remedies — the best supplements to take
As we get older we find we need more and varying ways to get to sleep. Before delving into the counter or prescription sleep remedies are a few suggestions on vitamins and herbal supplements that are known to promote sleep.
Vitamins
· Vitamin B6 (pyridoxine): 50 to 100mg of Vitamin B6 per day can help prevent insomnia. Your body needs adequate B6 in order to produce serotonin which is required for the sleep-triggering hormone called melatonin. An excellent source of vitamin B6 is a tablespoon or two of nutritional yeast which can be stirred into a glass of fruit juice
· Vitamin B12 (cobalamin): This is another important supplement used as a sleep remedy. If you are deficient in this vitamin you may experience confusion, loss of memory, and a general feeling of tiredness. The recommended daily dose is 25mg and can be combined with Vitamin B5. Good choices of Vitamin B12 and B5 can be found in walnuts, sunflower seeds, bananas, tuna, wheat germ, peanuts, and whole grains.
· Vitamin B5 (pantothenic acid): This vitamin is good for relieving stress and anxiety. Insufficiency of B5 can cause sleep disturbances and fatigue. The daily recommended dose is 100 mg.
· Folic Acid: A deficiency of folic acid may be a contributing factor to insomnia, which is why it’s used as a sleep remedy. The recommended daily dose is 400 micrograms. Folic acid can be found naturally in orange juice, leafy green vegetables, fortified breakfast cereals, and beans. It should be noted that the synthetic form of folic acid found in over-the-counter vitamins is more easily used by your body than the natural product.
Herbal supplements
· Lavender: Some medical conditions that lavender is believed to help treat includes insomnia, depression, mood disturbances, and anxiety disorders. All of these centers around the research that has shown that lavender create a soothing, calming effect, which is why it makes a good sleep remedy.
· Valerian: The effects and benefits of Valerian can be widely positive, especially for those that have trouble sleeping. The health benefits of Valerian may outweigh its possible side effects, so you can make the determination for yourself.
· Melatonin: Melatonin is a hormone that the body produces at night. It is sometimes called the “sleep hormone” because it is so important to healthy sleep. People who are blind, who suffer from jet lag, or who live in places with extended sunlight hours may have trouble sleeping because their bodies do not produce enough melatonin. So, it is a terrific sleep remedy.
· Chamomile: Chamomile is one of nature’s oldest and gentlest sleep remedies. It is most often drunk as a tea, which has a mild and pleasant taste. In addition to promoting calm and restfulness, chamomile is also used in cases of stomach irritation.
Whatever you choose to use as a sleep remedy make sure its usefulness outweighs any potential risks and can be used without side effects first or long-term use. Also, by using vitamins or supplements, you are promoting an overall well-being for yourself.

All you assholes were proven wrong when the media interviewed past and present classmates and friends of Loughner who described him as a liberal who was never interested in guns! Now shut the fuck up and stop blaming conservatives for the mess one of YOUR ILK created!

I want to remind all the gloaters that young people didn't vote this time, but in 2008, my state, Indiana, went blue for the first time since the 1960s so don't think you have suddenly taken over the country.. you're a loud faction nothing more.

Everyone is wrong, to some extent. If God is a spiritual, almighty being, how can human definitions explain Him?
