[QUOTE="JenniferM55, post: 2305363, member: 527474"] Have you tried taking supplements, such as magnesium and potassium? They're muscle relaxants. How about a calcium supplement? Calcium is the ingredient that makes a cup of warm milk before bed help us sleep, milk is carby so maybe a calcium supplement could help? (I take two tablets of a calcium, magnesium and potassium combined tablet which helps me). Tryptophan is the amino acid that the body uses to make sleep-inducing serotonin and melatonin, the relaxing neurotransmitters that slow down nerve traffic and stop the brain buzzing, it's found in chicken, eggs, pumpkin and sesame seeds, peanuts, fish and cheese. Lycopene is also a good one, found in tomatoes - tomato ketchup is a good source. I'm just 'brain storming' for you - it's horrible not being able to sleep. [/QUOTE]
