It is also suggested to take a warm bath and to drink a glass of hot milk before going to sleep, to use a mattress suitable for your needs, to dress a comfortable pajamas and to regulate the temperature of your room so that it’s not too warm.  If in despite of this you have not resolved the problems, you can try with the herbal medicine.
