    The Sleep Health Foundation does not specifically endorse nor disparage products that are available on the market. It is important to remember that sleeping aids, whether they are herbal or prescription, are adjuncts to treatment. They are never able to answer the entire problem, just one component, perhaps keeping you a bit calmer. It is important to have a comprehensive assessment of your insomnia and have a treatment plan. The gold standard for treating sleep problems like yours is called Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I), it is a non-drug treatment. Please ask your GP to refer you to a sleep specialist (either medical or psychological) and you will be able to receive a thorough assessment and receive treatment for your sleep problems.
    We wish you all the best for getting a good night’s sleep.
