'Most people who live with Sickle Cell Disease have problems with sleep. Most, including me, do not sleep well'

This is another natural remedy that can promote sleep. Lemon balm is a citrus scented herb known for use in the kitchen and for its therapeutic uses. Lemon balm has health-benefit properties. Research has been done over the years on its calming, sleep-enhancing and stress-relieving properties. You can use it as a fresh herb or dried one and make herbal tea. Or you can use a supplement tablet about an hour before bed for its ability to support sleep.

Also, avoid chocolate, peanuts, beans, fruits or vegetables, and potato chips as snacks before bed. Avoid any form of snack during the night when you can’t sleep. Try not to eat heavy meals and spices in the evening. Do not go to bed too hungry or too full. Go for a light bedtime meal, such as a glass of warm milk or a bowl of cereal as they promote sleep. Allow yourself at least an hour before bedtime to unwind your brain. Taking a hot bath also helps, as well as reading a novel.

You can also buy over-the-counter tablets that aid sleep and one is Melatonin. Melatonin is a hormone that the brain produces naturally. This hormone regulates sleep and wakefulness. However, melatonin is not recommended for long-term use.
