Best for: deep relaxation and vivid dreams
Traditionally used for sleep and dream enhancement.
How to use:
- Mugwort tea (mild dose)

Tip: Start small — it can make dreams very vivid.
7. Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera)
Best for: stress-related insomnia
Ashwagandha is an adaptogen that helps the body cope with stress and balances cortisol (the stress hormone).
How to use:
- Powder mixed with warm milk
- Capsules
Great for people whose sleep problems come from stress or overthinking.

Not a sedative, but helps your body feel calm and light before bed — especially if you have stomach discomfort.
How to use:
- One warm cup of mint tea after dinner
9. Warm Milk + Honey (Traditional Remedy)
Best for: soothing the nervous system
Warm milk contains tryptophan, which can help melatonin production. Honey supports glucose balance at night.

You can add a pinch of turmeric or cinnamon for extra comfort.
