I am really tired, I get about 2 hrs broken sleep a night. I don't nap through the day, I try and keep busy in the hope of really warring myself out for the night.
I have flashbacks and cannot seem to control them, I have tried night rescue remedy, calms, and I am on another herbal one at the moment but they don't seem to be working.
I wont take sleeping pills as I need to hear the kids (my middle little one age 8 sleepwalks) and my hubby will sleep through a bomb going off...
What does you do to help yourself with Insomnia?
Maybe some of your techniques may help
Thank you

Hello & Welcome Keluca,
There are so many different sleep remedies, but my question is...what is the cause of your insomnia? It might make a difference with the reason you can't sleep. Something too harsh wouldn't be good to take with little ones around, too.
I guess you are very tired and would like a quick answer but if this has been ongoing you have probably tried many things already. Do you have a doctor you could ask?
I don't get much sleep either due to chronic pain and I don't like taking sleeping medications. That is why I asked what keeps you awake because it makes a difference. Please post again and let us know. Meanwhile, take care and I'm glad you found this forum.

I like tea--every now & then--so I make some when I feel like it. Had some basil tea last night.... I usually brew mint tea...
Sometimes, I'll grab lavender oil & throw that on an aromastone/cotton ball or in an inhaler.... (aromatherapy)... I like mint, too, so I try to keep some of that around as well.
Take care!
