5. Valerian Root

A traditional herb that may increase GABA levels in the brain, helping you relax and fall asleep faster.

6. Deep Breathing

Try the 4-7-8 method: inhale 4 seconds, hold 7, exhale 8. It helps lower stress and slows your heart rate.

7. Progressive Muscle Relaxation

Tense and relax muscles from head to toe. It releases tension and grounds your body.

8. White Noise

Soft, consistent sound (like a fan or sound machine) can block distractions and create a calming sleep environment.

9. Sleep-Friendly Snacks

Bananas and almonds contain magnesium and melatonin. A small snack can support sleep naturally.

Combine 2–3 of these into a calming bedtime routine. Keep it consistent — your body will respond.
