The lamp will help\u00a0adjust your circadian rhythm so that you become tired earlier in the evenings.<\/p>\n<h3>Natural Relaxants<\/h3>\n<p>Natural muscle relaxants are also effective for those looking for an early night. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC2995283\/\">Chamomile<\/a>, valerian, magnesium and lemon balm are all natural and effective.\u00a0 Kava kava is also great if you live in a US state where it is legal.<\/p>\n<p>There is tonnes of research behind the effectiveness of magnesium &#8211; opt for a &#8216;glycinated&#8217; form at night time.
