Will reading this tip put you to sleep?

The Bite:
We sure hope so. Conventional insomnia pills work, but nobody wants to lose sleep over side effects and potentially addictive ingredients. Opt for natural versions instead.
The Benefits: 
  • Non-addictive and free of serious side effects that come with prescription aids (like reduced sex drive and vomiting... we could end the benefits list right there, right?).
  • Fewer synthetic chems in the pills = fewer that find their way into waterways.
  • Avoid the "sleeping pill hangover."
  • More affordable than prescribed sleep aids.
Personally Speaking: 
An insomniac since age 11, Heather's tried every sleep remedy under the moon. These days, a good yoga inversion will usually do the trick for her, but when that doesn't work, she reaches for the Knock-Out.
Wanna Try: 

Cocktail Fact

Some versions of the legend of the Pied Piper have him using valerian to attract rats since valerian has the opposite effect on rats as on humans.

Bang For The Bite

A 30-day supply of prescription Lunesta costs $138 vs. less than $20 for natural options.

I think this one's an obvious. After all, it says so on every single sleep aid! free MMORPG
Thank you for all the suggestions, I am a little insomniac myself and I'll have to agree that it's torture not to enjoy sleep when you need it. Hopefully one of these trick will work for me, this way I make sure I stay away of taking addictive pills like Ambien. I've been to ambien detox, I wouldn't want to repeat that.
Very good tips, will make use of these. Juice Plus Vitamins
I got addicted to all the pills I've tried so that they didn't work for me anymore. So, I decided to get rid of all those conventional or non-conventional remedies and just enjoy the insomnia instead of suffering from it. You wonder how? Every time I can't sleep I pamper myself with sex toys, when I get satisfaction I'm so relaxed that immediately fall asleep like a child.
