Feeling sluggish and tired all day. Focus isnt as it should be. And in the long run health is affected. So let us look at a few natural home remedies.

Lavender essential oil.

It is not even slightly surprising to see it mentioned as a home remedy. As it has a soothing impact on the body. Calming soothing and relaxing effect. All you need to do is take cotton ball and pour a few drops on the cotton ball. Now massage your forehead and temples before you sleep. The smell of the lavender will be calming and help you to sleep.

Warm milk

Think about the movies you may have seen. That was given to someone that can not sleep. Seems there was some truth in that. It soothes the mind and relaxes the body. Milk helps to enhance and improve health. If you prefer you can add one or two teaspoons honey to your warm glass of link.

Phone.

Yes it should not be a surprise that it is mentioned. As it has clearly become a very bad habit for so many. But when it is used to much it decreases the melatonin production in the body, melatonin  helps the body to sleep. Also good to switch the phone off as the light does affect your sleep at night

Foods to be mindful of

As much as we love the sweet and spicy foods. It can cause aggravation for your belly. So you will end up tossing and turning the whole night. When thinking of chocolate then remember just like caffeine it affects your resting receptors. So you end up struggling to sleep.

Smaller meal portions

If you have large meals before bed. You can feel overfull or quite full. For your body 4 hours is considered time needed to be absorbed into the body. so when you eat big meals your stomach has not quite worked with the foods. Keeping you awake. 

Personally. I love lavender essential oil. It is soothing and calming. So I always have some when needed.
