If you are one who takes sleeping pills that is an option. I don't take anything like that. Valerian root is good, and also cammomile tea.
I have a couple cups of tea before I do my meditation, that always works.

I find working odd hours and irregular sleep schedules really helps, but you prolly don't work the wacky hours I do, so it is of no use to you. But I've heard warm milk, valeria root, and/or shots of tequila work wonders!

I have heard of the warm milk thing... how is that? Is there some scientific reason for it? Just wondering cause I don't drink milk... soy milk, I wonder it it would have the same effect.

Nothing in the milk, its just a psychological thing, from when you were breast fed as a child. Sub-conscious reaction, nothing else.

oh ok.... well I was never breast feed, so probably wouldn't work for me anyway... guess I won't be warming up my soy milk.

Thanks for the explanation.

I've never had much jet lag. I guess the worst was from here to Hawaii. Only thing I did going and coming back was to try and stay up until bedtime and get on their time.

Just grin and bare it. I have worked nights for five years, its like being permanently jet-lagged. When you are tired sometimes you just have to get on with things. You catch up eventually.
