    Nytol is herbal and works quite well, or even valerian root - all available from boots and places. If you go and have a word with the pharmacist at boots, they will probably have a herbal remedy "bible" there that they can look things up if you have any queries.

    I don't like taking sleeping pills either, but sometimes, short term they can be just what you need to get things back on an even keel.

    I would recommend Nytol. I took it after a personal trauma some years ago which lead to me being unable to sleep at all. First night taking them I had a good nights sleep. I only used them for about a week and then I found my body had got back into routine.

    That's brilliant will try those then.They sound ok.
  • I have taken these for the past few years..on and off, before i get shot. They work very well at first then less so. But the relief is immense and it should help back pain a bit. The good thing is that there is no hangover affect that you tend to get with sleeping pills. Someone once told me to increase my vit B12 as well as magnesium as they are supposed to help. I would always talk to the people in the shop as well. Just because things are herbal, doesn't mean there are no side effects..make sure it doesn't conflict with tabs you are already taking as they do have an affect on stomach.
