Hi, the steps that can be taken apart from medications are maintenance of sleep hygiene, stimulus control, relaxation, sleep restriction, cognitive therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, phototherapy, and chronotherapy. These therapies can be prescribed by clinicians at any level but it can be better implemented by sleep specialist.
As for herbal drugs, Valerian has a long history of use as a sedative and anxiolytic. It is one of the most popular herbal preparations in Europe. It has also been reported that valerian improves sleep quality. It may have benefit for individuals with stress caused by a number of factors. When used as a hypnotic, it does not appear to be associated with "hangover" effects, an advantage over many sedative-hypnotic drugs.
Melatonin preparations belong to class of neutraceuticals and appear to be the primary sleep-regulating hormone of the body. It is secreted in relation with normal day/night cycles.
I hope this helps. Consult sleep specialist for prescription of above mentioned drugs. Take care and regards.
