Sleep Medicine Specialist Questions Sleep problems

Are there natural ways to help someone sleep better?

My mother is unable to sleep at night and she's 74 years old. We do not want her on any medication because of the side effects. Are there any natural ways to help her sleep better at night

1 Answer

Yes there are. The best is for her to get lots of regular exercise. Exercise facilitates sleep and deepens sleep. It is very important for her to keep regular hours of going to sleep and of awakening. Each of these can have a great impact on facilitating and improving sleep.
