I have had sleep issues most of my life. I used to suffer from night terrors when I was a kid, and from time to time I still have horrific nightmares. My son also has sleep problems, where he has a hard time shutting his mind down (very common with autism). Melatonin, sleepy time tea, meditation-I have tried them all with the little man to no avail. One thing that has worked for me, and has had some success for him are dream pillows.
The herbs in the pillow are similar to what are in sleepy time tea, and smelling them can help promote restful sleep.
Needed:
White sachet bag or muslin
Chamomile flowers
Lavender flowers
Valerian
Mix herbs together and put in bag/muslin. Pin inside pillowcase. Have sweet dreams
