Natural Remedies for Insomnia: A Functional Medicine Approach to Better Sleep
When Nights Turn Into Battles
Tossing, turning, watching the ceiling — you’re exhausted, yet sleep refuses to come.
Your mind races, your body aches for rest, and the hours slip away one by one.
By morning, you’re not just tired — you’re defeated.
Insomnia doesn’t just steal sleep. It steals clarity, mood, and the quiet sense of peace that makes life feel manageable.
At BalanSoul, we understand how isolating this cycle can feel — and we know it’s not just in your head.
Sleep is a biological rhythm, not a luxury, and when it falters, your whole system suffers.
Beyond Quick Fixes: A Functional Philosophy of Sleep
There’s no single pill or tea that repairs chronic insomnia. True recovery begins by identifying the hidden imbalances that keep the body from remembering how to rest — whether hormonal, nutritional, stress-related, or circadian.
Most sleep problems are actually symptoms of a deeper imbalance. Treating just the inability to sleep is only a temporary fix.
Lasting rest comes when we uncover why the body can’t switch off — whether that’s a melatonin-timing issue, nighttime cortisol surge, or an overactive nervous system stuck in alert mode.
As a naturopath, I may offer short-term relief for sleep problems, but that’s only the beginning of the work. Real healing happens when your body’s natural rhythm is restored — when your system learns, once again, how to fall asleep on its own.
Why Many Sleep Aids Fall Short
You may have tried everything — chamomile tea, magnesium, melatonin, strict sleep-hygiene routines, even giving up caffeine. But when your body’s natural rhythms are disrupted, these short-term fixes rarely restore deep, lasting rest.
Functional testing can uncover the real reasons sleep has broken down — whether it’s a melatonin-timing imbalance, nighttime cortisol spike, neurotransmitter depletion, blood-sugar instability, or chronic inflammation.
That’s where a root-cause approach makes all the difference: identifying why you can’t sleep, rather than trying to sedate the body into rest.

Rebuilding Trust in Sleep
When sleep feels impossible, it’s easy to lose faith in your body’s natural ability to rest.
At BalanSoul, we see insomnia differently — not as a flaw or failure, but as your body’s way of asking for restoration and balance.
Through targeted testing, nutrient therapy, and mind–body techniques, we help you rebuild that trust — gently, step by step — until rest feels natural again.
What Is Insomnia?
Natural remedies for insomnia begin with understanding what’s really happening.
Insomnia isn’t just trouble falling asleep — it’s a dysregulation of your body’s natural sleep architecture. You may find yourself lying awake for hours, waking often through the night, or rising exhausted no matter how long you’ve been in bed.
At BalanSoul, we understand that this exhaustion isn’t just physical — it’s emotional. The frustration of wanting to sleep but not being able to can wear down even the strongest person. Our goal is to help you restore rhythm, calm, and confidence in your body’s natural ability to rest.
What makes insomnia especially frustrating is that the more you try to sleep, the harder it becomes. It’s a paradox — your brain wants rest but doesn’t yet feel safe enough to let go.
That’s why at BalanSoul, we explore why this happens — and how to gently retrain your body to rediscover deep, restorative sleep again.
Here, we don’t just look at the labels — we look at the root causes that keep your nights restless and your days depleted.
Why I Care About Insomnia
I’ve worked with countless clients who’ve felt broken by insomnia — caught between fear, frustration, and exhaustion.
One client once told me, “It’s like I’m haunted by my own nervous system.”
And I understood exactly what she meant — because I’ve lived it too.
In the early 2000s, while studying for my naturopathy degree, I began experiencing relentless insomnia. I’d often find myself wide awake at 2 or 3 a.m., my mind racing with assignments and deadlines. I was already battling depression, and the sleeplessness only made it worse.
I remember lying there, watching the clock tick past 1:00… 2:00… 3:00 a.m., wondering if I’d ever sleep again.
The nights felt endless. All I wanted was to truly rest — not just to close my eyes, but to fall asleep and stay asleep.
Out of desperation, I tried nearly every prescription option — temazepam, zolpidem (Stilnox), Xanax, and more. They worked briefly — for a night or two — but by day four, one tablet barely made a difference. Soon, I needed two… then three… and even that would only take the edge off. Eventually, nothing worked at all.
I even went through a sleep study at one point. They recommended a CPAP machine — but honestly, they seem to recommend that to almost everyone. I was never overweight, and there was no reason I should have had sleep apnea. I’ve always suspected that sleep studies can sometimes feel like a sales pathway for CPAP machines.
Besides, I couldn’t use one even if I wanted to. Due to DCR surgery I had some years later, the air would blow through my nasal cavity and into my eye socket — making a CPAP machine physically impossible. Once again, I was back to staring at the ceiling, exhausted and defeated.
It wasn’t until I began applying what I was learning in my naturopathy degree to myself — exploring my brain’s biochemistry, nervous system patterns, and the nutrient imbalances beneath it all — that things finally began to shift. Once I had the time and headspace to actually put theory into practice, everything changed. Slowly, sleep returned.
Today, it’s my mission to help others rebuild their relationship with sleep — naturally, compassionately, and with the wisdom of lived experience.
Root Causes & Contributing Factors
You’re not imagining it — insomnia doesn’t just “happen.”
For most people, it’s the result of several hidden layers working against each other — biochemical shifts, emotional stress, lifestyle strain, and a nervous system that no longer feels safe enough to switch off.
If you’ve ever wondered why your body refuses to rest even when you’re utterly exhausted, this is where the answers begin.
At BalanSoul, we see insomnia not as a failure of willpower, but as your body’s quiet call for balance — a signal that something deeper needs attention.
Biochemical Imbalances
These invisible shifts in brain chemistry can quietly sabotage healthy sleep:
- Low GABA, high glutamate
- Elevated nighttime cortisol
- Melatonin disruption
- Acetylcholine deficiency
Trauma & Nervous System Factors
The nervous system remembers what it survives:
- PTSD and hypervigilance
- Childhood trauma
- Overactive amygdala, poor vagal tone
- Suppressed grief or emotional tension
Genetic & Epigenetic Drivers
Your genes influence how easily you wind down:
- MTHFR, COMT, GAD1 variants
- Pyrrole disorder (zinc & B6 depletion)
- Histamine dysregulation (REM suppression)
- Undermethylation or overmethylation patterns
Lifestyle Disruptors
Modern life doesn’t make it easy to rest:
- Blue light exposure at night
- Caffeine or alcohol in the evening
- Irregular sleep/wake cycle
- Bed-bound oversleeping (low sleep efficiency)
Waking up at 2am every night?
If you’ve had a similar experience to me — lying awake, wondering what’s wrong with your body — this pattern often points to deeper imbalances like adrenal dysregulation, blood sugar dips, elevated histamine, or nighttime cortisol spikes. At BalanSoul, we explore these factors using targeted functional testing, so you’re never left guessing.
Understanding Your Sleeps Biotype
While most sleep advice focuses on quick fixes or lifestyle hacks, Dr. William Walsh’s clinical research shows that for many people, insomnia begins at the biochemical level.
At BalanSoul, we use this science-based model to understand your sleep symptoms through the lens of your neurochemical biotype — because no two people’s brains work the same way.
Biotype Links to Sleep Problems
Overmethylation
– Often linked with low blood histamine, high anxiety, and sleep disorders.
– These individuals may struggle with racing thoughts, poor REM architecture, and intolerance to SSRIs or folate.
– May respond better to GABA, B6, niacinamide, and zinc.
Copper Overload
– Walsh lists sleep problems as a hallmark trait in copper toxicity, especially in women.
– Excess copper drives norepinephrine and adrenaline, heightening night-time alertness and anxiety.
Pyrrole Disorder
– Commonly includes little or no dream recall, severe inner tension, and a tendency to stay up very late.
– Driven by zinc/B6 depletion and oxidative stress.
– Supplementing with P5P and zinc can reduce arousal and support better sleep.
Undermethylation
– May exhibit inner tension despite fatigue, resulting in a calm exterior but poor sleep regulation.
– Often have low serotonin and elevated histamine, which can disrupt circadian rhythm and lead to difficulty both falling and staying asleep.
Relevant Functional Testing
These biochemical patterns are also subtly reflected in your existing functional test results — but knowing which biotype you fall into helps target your treatment precisely.
Typical tests we use include:
- Zinc:Copper Ratio → for copper overload
- Whole Blood Histamine → methylation status
- Vitamin B6, SAMe, Folate → for methylation and pyrrole status

Signs & Symptoms of Insomnia and Sleep Deprivation
Chronic insomnia doesn’t just steal your sleep — it seeps into every corner of your life.
It affects how you think, how you feel, and even how your body heals.
What begins as a few restless nights can soon snowball into exhaustion, brain fog, and a nervous system that feels permanently “on.”
Most people don’t realise just how far the effects can reach — until they start noticing it in their mood, digestion, focus, or even their immune system.
Here are some of the most common ways insomnia shows up in the body and mind:
- Trouble falling asleep or waking frequently in the night
- Feeling wired but exhausted
- Waking too early and unable to fall back asleep
- Daytime anxiety or irritability
- Forgetfulness, foggy thinking, and reduced focus
- Digestive upset or nausea in the mornings
- Light, fragmented sleep or dreamless sleep
- Relying on melatonin or herbal teas that no longer work
- Sleep anxiety: dread or panic before bedtime
Is This You?
- You dread going to bed because you know you’ll lie awake.
- You feel tired but wired — and supplements don’t seem to help.
- You wake at 2 a.m., heart racing, with no idea why.
- You feel like your nervous system is stuck in overdrive.
- You’ve tried everything — yet real sleep still feels out of reach.
How It Feels To Live With Insomnia
Living this way night after night can leave you feeling isolated, hopeless, and frustrated — wondering if your body has simply forgotten how to sleep.
We touched briefly earlier on how functional testing can reveal what’s really driving your insomnia — but it’s worth looking at this more closely. When lifestyle changes, supplements, and sleep hygiene still aren’t enough, testing can uncover the hidden biochemical or hormonal imbalances that keep your body stuck in wake mode.
Testing & Functional Investigations
You’ve probably been told your “sleep labs are normal” — yet you’re still lying awake at 2 a.m., staring at the ceiling. That’s because standard tests rarely look at the chemistry behind insomnia.
At BalanSoul, we use advanced functional tests that dig deeper into how your body and brain actually regulate rest. These tests help us uncover the biological patterns keeping your system stuck in alert mode — so your treatment plan can be precise, personalized, and far more effective than trial-and-error remedies.
Think of it as mapping the circuitry behind your sleeplessness — identifying whether your sleep issues stem from stress hormones, neurotransmitters, nutrient deficiencies, or methylation imbalances that affect brain calm and rhythm.
| Test | What It Reveals |
| 4-Point Salivary Cortisol | Tracks your daily stress-hormone rhythm. High nighttime cortisol often keeps your mind alert when it should be winding down. |
| Zinc:Copper Ratio | Measures the balance between calming and stimulating neurotransmitters — key for nervous-system stability. |
| Whole Blood Histamine | Assesses methylation status, which influences serotonin, melatonin, and overall sleep architecture. |
| OAT (Organic Acids Test) | Gives insight into gut health, mitochondrial energy, and brain chemistry — all linked to how deeply you rest. |
| Thyroid Panel | Evaluates thyroid-driven metabolism that can cause night-time restlessness or low morning energy. |
| B12, D, Homocysteine | Identifies nutrient patterns that affect brain repair, mood balance, and circadian regulation. |
🪷 Each test provides another piece of your sleep puzzle — helping us pinpoint the root imbalance instead of masking symptoms.
💡 Curious to learn what your test results might reveal?
Each person’s insomnia has a different biological fingerprint — that’s why we only recommend tests that truly help uncover the “why” behind your sleeplessness.

Common Misconceptions About Insomnia
“If I just relax more, I’ll sleep.”
→ True insomnia isn’t simply stress — it’s a physiological imbalance that keeps your body stuck in alert mode.
“Melatonin always helps.”
→ It only works when your body’s timing and natural rhythm are aligned — otherwise, it can actually make things worse.
“If I lie in bed long enough, I’ll fall asleep.”
→ Forcing sleep trains your brain to associate bed with wakefulness, not rest — making the problem worse over time.
“It’s just aging.”
→ While sleep naturally changes with age, chronic insomnia is not normal — and it’s absolutely treatable.
Natural & Integrative Treatment Options for Insomnia
How to treat insomnia naturally…
By this point, you’ve probably realised that insomnia isn’t just about “wanting” to sleep — it’s about helping your body remember how.
Natural treatments don’t force sleep — they restore it.
They retrain your brain and nervous system to find rest again through rhythm, nutrients, and targeted therapy.
These are the evidence-based methods we use to help the body’s sleep architecture rebuild itself — step by step, without sedation or dependency.
CBT-I & Sleep Restriction Therapy
Resetting Your Sleep Pressure System
This is the most clinically validated natural approach for chronic insomnia — and yes, it works.
We begin by redefining how much time you spend in bed, helping your brain re-associate bedtime with sleep, not frustration.
When sleep becomes elusive, your brain stops trusting bedtime. CBT-I restores that trust by gently compressing sleep windows and expanding them again as your rhythm normalises.
In doing so, it rebuilds what’s known as the sleep pressure system — your body’s primal drive to rest.
Think of it like rebooting a computer. If you never power down, your system fragments — files scatter, processes slow, and memory becomes cluttered.
Sleep does for your brain what rebooting does for a computer: it reorganises thoughts, clears unnecessary data, and consolidates memory so the mind can run efficiently again.
Without this nightly reboot, your nervous system stays “on,” your emotions remain unprocessed, and your stress hormones keep firing as if it’s still daytime.
CBT-I helps your body rediscover the rhythm it was designed for — the ability to let go and trust the process of rest.
Once sleep pressure is being rebuilt through CBT-I, we layer in supportive therapies — sleep diary coaching, targeted nutrients, herbal medicine, and circadian rhythm tools — to strengthen the foundations of sleep even further. Each therapy builds on the last, creating a complete system of natural restoration so your nights become calmer, deeper, and more reliable over time.
Sleep Diary Coaching
This isn’t just “track your sleep and hope it improves.”
It’s a structured, practitioner-guided process that teaches you to read the signals your body is sending — and finally understand why your nights unfold the way they do.
Together, we monitor something called Sleep Efficiency (SE%) — the percentage of time in bed spent actually sleeping. This single number reveals far more than most people realise:
Why you wake at the same time every night
Whether your brain is stuck in hyperarousal
If your sleep window is too large (or too small)
Whether your rhythm is drifting later without you realising
But the real magic happens in the day-to-day coaching.
Each week, we adjust your plan in real time based on your patterns, your stress levels, your energy, and your lived experience.
This turns sleep from a frustration into a skill — something your body learns to trust again.
It’s not guesswork. It’s precision.
And the improvements compound week after week.
Nutritional Psychiatry Support
Sleep doesn’t happen in isolation — it’s deeply tied to your biochemistry.
We support your sleep architecture by calming cortisol, boosting GABA, stabilising blood sugar, and easing neurological tension.
Key therapeutic nutrients we use include:
- Magnesium (glycinate or threonate) → calms the HPA axis, promotes deeper sleep
- L-theanine → smooths racing thoughts and supports alpha brain-wave relaxation
- Phosphatidylserine → lowers night time cortisol spikes
- Targeted minerals → zinc, B6, and others that influence neurotransmitter balance
What makes this different from taking “just a supplement” is that
each nutrient is selected based on your symptoms, your biotype tendencies, and your functional test insights.
When the right nutrients are used at the right time of day, sleep becomes easier because your nervous system finally has the raw materials it needs to downshift.
This is biochemical support with purpose — not trial-and-error.
Botanical Medicine (used wisely)
Herbs can absolutely help your body settle — but feeling calmer doesn’t automatically switch the brain into “sleep mode.”
🔶 Why herbs don’t fix insomnia — even though they help you relax
Most calming herbs help your body wind down, but they don’t repair the deeper sleep systems that drive chronic insomnia — like sleep pressure, rhythm timing, or nighttime cortisol surges.
Even though herbs can be wonderfully calming, their effect often stops there. They relax the body and quiet the mind, but they don’t activate the deeper systems the brain relies on to generate real sleep.
That’s why we use herbs as supportive tools — not the entire plan. They’re not a cure; they’re a companion.
At BalanSoul, we choose botanicals based on what’s happening underneath — hormone patterns, anxiety levels, pain signalling, digestion, and your nervous system profile.
Every formula is personalised, because even herbs need to match your biotype, your rhythm, and the way your body responds.
Common calming herbs we may use:
Passionflower – For restless sleep and circular thoughts, especially when anxiety keeps the mind spinning.
Lemon balm – Relaxing and mood-soothing, particularly helpful when an overactive thyroid or stress-related digestive issues are contributing to insomnia.
Zizyphus – A Traditional Chinese Medicine remedy often used to quiet mental chatter and promote gentle sleep in sensitive constitutions.
Chamomile – Known for its calming and digestive benefits, especially where there’s bloating, stomach upset, or progesterone imbalance.
Skullcap – Used for overworked nerves that need replenishing; helps calm both body and mind.
Jamaican Dogwood and Californian Poppy – Both very sedating; often used in pain-related insomnia where physical discomfort is the root cause.
Magnesium and Valerian – A well-known pairing that supports nervous system calm and tension relief.
Circadian Reset Tools
You’ve probably heard the term circadian rhythm before — but what does it actually mean?
Your circadian rhythm is your body’s internal 24-hour clock — the system that tells you:
- When to feel sleepy
- When to feel alert
- When cortisol should rise
- When melatonin should be released
When this rhythm drifts — even slightly — sleep becomes unpredictable, light, and easily broken.
Insomnia isn’t just a disorder of the mind;
it’s often a disorder of rhythm.
We help restore your body’s natural timing by teaching it to anchor itself to the cues it has relied on for thousands of years:
- Morning sunlight exposure → resets the master clock
- Evening wind-down rituals → signal melatonin production
- Consistent wake time → locks the rhythm in place
- Gentle light avoidance at night → keeps melatonin stable
- Optional use of red or amber lights → protects sleep signals
We’re built biologically to wind down with the sunset and rise with the light.
Modern life pulls us out of that pattern — but your rhythm can be rebuilt.
These tools help your body fall asleep quicker and more reliably — by working with your natural rhythms, not against them.
Nervous System Regulation
Your nervous system determines whether your body is in “go mode” or “rest mode.”
If your vagus nerve never gets the message to slow down, sleep becomes nearly impossible.
We use simple, evidence-backed techniques to help recalibrate your nervous system — gently, consistently, and in ways most people have never been shown before.
Techniques we may use include:
- Gentle breathwork → slow exhales calm the vagus nerve
- Cold water splashes → powerful way to shift out of hyperarousal
- Gargling with water → stimulates the vagus nerve and improves parasympathetic tone
- Trauma-aware mindfulness → subtle practices designed for wired, overstressed brains
- The “Physiological Sigh” → a rapid, science-proven way to reduce anxiety and lower arousal
- Vagus humming or chanting → sound vibration directly stimulates vagal pathways
- Progressive muscle release (not the classic “PMR”) → targeted release of specific tension chains
👉These tools aren’t meant to sedate you —they teach your body how to shift gears so sleep can happen naturally again.
Many of them are easy to learn, but they’re most effective when selected based on your nervous system history, stress patterns, and biotype tendencies.
Mind-Body Medicine for Sleep
Insomnia isn’t just a problem of the brain — it’s a state of nervous-system vigilance.
When the body stays in “high alert mode,” even long after the lights go out, sleep simply can’t switch on. That’s why lasting recovery requires more than nutrients, supplements, or sleep hygiene — it requires soothing the inner alarm system that keeps you awake at night.
This is where mind-body medicine becomes a powerful ally.
Guided imagery, breath-linked awareness, and somatic relaxation don’t replace other treatments — they amplify them. Used consistently, these techniques help retrain the sleep-wake switch in a way that feels natural, safe, and deeply calming.
Think of them as the bridge between your biochemistry and your nervous system — the missing link that teaches your body how to soften, unwind, and finally let sleep in.
A Natural Partnership With Your Treatment Plan
In addition to our biochemical analysis, nutrient protocols, circadian-rhythm strategies, and nervous-system work, we also use targeted mind-body tools to support your recovery.
These guided meditations by Dr. Emmett Miller, a pioneer in mind-body medicine, can be used alongside your treatment plan — or as gentle entry points for healing the stress-sleep loop.

What About Cannabis or Alcohol for Sleep?
You might have heard — or personally experienced — that substances like THC (cannabis) or alcohol can help you fall asleep.
And it’s true: these substances can knock you out.
For some people, they become the nightly go-to because it seems to work — at least at first.
But here’s the deeper story behind why they stop helping:
👉 THC and alcohol don’t build sleep pressure — they override it.
Both substances force your body into unconsciousness — like hitting the “power off” button on a tired computer instead of repairing the system underneath.
Over time, this can disrupt your sleep in several ways — including REM disruption • reduced dream recall • weakened emotional processing • growing dependency • flattened deep-sleep architecture.
Alcohol behaves similarly. It increases a sedating compound (allopregnanolone), but the sleep that follows is usually lighter, fragmented, and missing the deep stages your brain relies on for memory, emotional balance, and full-body repair.
For many people, cannabis or alcohol becomes the only way they can fall asleep — and that’s when the body loses its natural ability to switch off.

FAQ
Do I need to take melatonin to sleep?
Not necessarily. At BalanSoul, we focus on why your melatonin might not be working naturally.
Through functional testing, we assess your melatonin levels — including whether they’re very low around midnight, when your body should be peaking naturally. If your levels are clearly deficient at the right time of night, then yes — we may recommend melatonin supplementation strategically and short-term to support your sleep-wake cycle.
But we don’t start there.
Instead, we work to restore your pineal gland function, rebalance your cortisol rhythm, and reduce any inflammation or neurotransmitter imbalances that may be interfering with melatonin production in the first place.
Melatonin isn’t a magic fix — but used wisely, and based on lab results, it can be a helpful tool in the right context.
“Why can’t I sleep even when I’m tired?”
This is often due to dysregulated cortisol, elevated glutamate, or trauma-driven hyperarousal — not just stress or poor habits.
What if I’ve tried everything already?
Most of our clients have. What’s different here is our root-cause testing, trauma-aware coaching, and retraining strategy.
Can I use sleep medication while working with you?
Yes. We support both medicated and unmedicated clients. If appropriate, we can guide you through a gentle deprescribing process with your prescribing doctor.
What’s the best medicine for insomnia?
At BalanSoul, we help uncover what your body actually needs – whether that’s nutrients, herbs, circadian reset, or mind-body work. There’s no one-size-fits-all.
