It appears onion helps with insomnia. Since I’ve been ill with the flu my grandmother made me drink onion & garlic tea. Besides making me stink it also appeared to help me sleep to an extent. (I wasn’t taking any flu med.s and I tried eating onion last night and it seemed to help) I have also read somewhere that certain Native tribes used to eat raw onion in relation to sleeping… 
[color=darkblue]Interesting. A lot of people also recommend warm milk and I heard someone else say peanut butter sandwiches work aswel!?
I think listing household products is easier than stating herbal ones as a lot of people can’t be bothered to get them or have objections to them. [/color]
are you sure it wasnt the garlic? Garlic is well known for it’s medicinal properties, and I recall that it is used for curing insmonia among other things.
