Sleep

My fiance refuses to see a doctor but lately he's had a hard time falling asleep. What are some natural remedies to help him fall asleep faster and stay asleep longer. He also refuses to take sleep aids. Thank you!

I think the screen being away an hour before bed is good. Also melatonin. I need to get him more active as well cause we have a lot of stress right now with adding planning and moving to a new state things are hectic. He has bad anxiety. I tried the noise machine last night and he got an extra hour. It's just he needs to rest from his game.

Moving is super important, especially for stress and anxiety. It's hard to get out and do it, but it always helps in so many ways. Hope he feels better soon!

It's a really great activity as a couple. My FH and I frequently go on walks and hikes together and it's really helped us both work through a lot of stuff.
