If you struggle getting to sleep at night, there could be a number of different causes.
One common problem is nasal congestion, which results in difficulty breathing, but this can effectively be treated with nasal strips such as those from Breathe Right. For direct sleeping aids, tablets (or liquid equivalents) such as Nytol and Natrasleep can reduce alertness and help you to feel drowsy.

The best natural sleep aid depends on what is affecting your sleep. Products containing ingredients such as Valerian, Magnesium or herbal blends are commonly used to support relaxation and improve sleep quality. Natural sleep aids may be helpful for short-term sleep problems or mild insomnia, especially when combined with good sleep habits.
Magnesium may help support sleep by promoting muscle relaxation and calming the nervous system. Some people find magnesium supplements helpful if poor sleep is linked to restlessness or muscle tension. While it may not work for everyone, it is often used as part of a natural approach to better sleep.
Falling asleep faster often involves improving sleep routines rather than relying on medication alone. Limiting screen time before bed, keeping a consistent bedtime, creating a dark and quiet environment and avoiding caffeine in the evening can all help. Short-term sleep aids may also help reduce alertness and support quicker sleep onset.
Most adults need between seven and nine hours of sleep per night to function well. Individual needs vary, and factors such as age, lifestyle and overall health can affect how much sleep you need. Regularly getting too little sleep may impact mood, concentration and immune health.
There is no guaranteed way to cure insomnia in minutes, but some people find relaxation techniques such as controlled breathing, mindfulness or muscle relaxation helpful for calming the mind before bed. If sleep problems persist, using appropriate sleep aids and speaking to a pharmacist or GP can help identify longer-term solutions.
If difficulty sleeping lasts for several weeks, affects daily life, or is accompanied by symptoms such as anxiety, low mood or excessive daytime tiredness, it’s important to seek medical advice. A healthcare professional can help identify underlying causes and recommend appropriate treatment.
