Sleep Apnea and the
Power of Tea

While this may not be helpful in terms of sleep apnea, here is some information that can help you get a better night's sleep.

Believe it or not, drinking a nice warm glass of tea before bedtime can be one of the best things you can do to help ensure natural, restful sleep.

There are five kinds of teas in particular that have been found to promote sleepiness.  Natural sleep aids, including herbal teas, have been around for hundreds of years because they often work.  They are not miracle cures and may, in fact, require several weeks before they make a noticeable difference.  If you decide to take the herbal alternative, be sure to talk with your physician to make sure that this is best for you.

Sleepy Time tea

Good for all ages.

Chamomile tea

Drink a cup just before bedtime.  If you need it sweetened, use a teaspoon of honey.  Do not take chamomile tea if you suffer from allergies.

Valerian tea

Pour boiling water over 2 teaspoons of valerian root, infused for 15 minutes, and drink it just before bedtime.  This tea is not the best tasting in the world but is highly recommended for calming nerves and promoting sleep.

Hops tea

Add 1 ounce of hops to 1 pint of boiling water.  Drink this tea three times a day.

Catnip tea

This mint-tasting, common garden plant can help promote natural, restful sleep.  Just add a 1 teaspoon of dried catnip to 1 cup boiling water, infuse, strain and drink just before bedtime.
