I am 78 years and I have been having sleeping problem since several years. I was advised to take Zolfresh-10 tablets and I have reduced to 1/2 a tablet now. I sleep only 5 to 6 hours a day. I am told that Ayurveda/Homeopathy have effective medicine for the same. Could you please suggest me some medicine so that I can suspend the Zolfresh and take these medicines which are harmless.
