Lettuce is also a good home remedy to treat insomnia, for it contains a sleep inducing substance (lectucarium). Lettuce tea can be used to treat insomnia in children also.
Perfect. I think I’ll let my husband try this: two teaspoons of honey with a large amount of water. It’s what’s currently available (to us).
