Since last month, my 80-year-old mum started complaining that she either can’t fall asleep at night or keeps waking up during the night. Anyone have any natural remedies or solution to this? I’m hoping that she does not need to take any additional medications. Thank you…

Hello, thank you for the advice. Will try those out and hopefully my mum will be able to sleep better at night.
Hi, is your mum currently on any medication? Is she under stress? Have you considered how is her sleeping environment like? Some easy changes that can be done include: (1) make sure her room is quiet, dark and cool enough, especially in the warm weather, (2) avoid big meals or spicy food just before sleeping, helping to prevent indigestion.
Instead of watching tv or using social media, you can also consider playing some soft, soothing and relaxing music for your mum to help calm her mind.
Hope this helps your mum sleep better!
