Hi,
I have been finding it really difficult to get a good nights sleep recently. Im in my third year at university living in the same house as I did last year during term time. My room is on the ground floor and is much brighter at night than at home, but I slept ok last year. I wake at the slightest sound in the night, often heart is beating faster and I wake in the morning with a dry mouth, still feeling exhausted. Have tried every remedy I can find, herbal tablets, warm milk, reading, relaxation, no caffeine, even a bit of yoga but still it continues... I dont want to start taking medication, Id like to find a natural cure!
Please help...

And to reiterate what's already been said, do seek help from your GP - be sure to tell them how you feel about medication and they may be able to point you down a more natural route.
Good luck
