PTSD and Trauma recovery

Canela · 07-19-2010, 03:25 PM

I have been very lucky in that I have been sleeping all night long, well as much as possible...I awaken wishing there was more time to sleep...lol...but I did go thru a patch some years ago where I could not sleep at all! It was terrible! I got so much advice from everyone from warm milk to staying up until I passed out..lol...and finally I tried having a cup of chamomile tea and spraying my bedroom with lavender scent and lighting lavendar candles...also, I placed candles around my home and as soon as it got dark, I lit those and it gave a warm, soft glow...not only did it make for a relaxing effect but it also made me more amorous...my honey loved it...'course I fell hard to sleep every night but hey, I felt better and better everyday. Also, an old wives tale about getting outside during the morning dew and just breathing deeply, stretching, praying...helped with depression symptoms as well as insomnia...don't ask me how it works...but it certainly worked for me...

I hope you all find solutions to your sleep inhibitions...it sure does feel good to wake up from a restful slumber...mmm...and I wish you that in abundance.
