[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 506018, member: 1233"] Sleep idea - do you ever drink herbal tea? Celestial Seasonings makes a tea called Tension Tamer that we like. When I have a lot of insomnia I have found that this helps. It is relaxing and the herbs in it do seem to help me get better quality sleep. I don't let it steep for the whole 3 min, but it hasn't made a difference. You can add honey or sugar or sweetener to it. It is good hot or cold though I find hot more soothing at bedtime. We started using it with thank you when he was little and it made a real difference for him and still does. One of the fibro boards I used to belong to had a LOT of people who recommended it. They also recommended Tazo's Calm tea. This one tastes like you are drinking boiled hay to me, but it also helps me get better quality sleep and it helps when I have one of those days where any/every thing stomps on my last nerve. Starbucks sells this in individual bags and by the box. So if you wanted to try it you could just get a cup at Starbucks to see if you like/can stand the taste. Just don't buy a box of it at Starbucks until you check the grocery store to see if they sell it. Here the same box costs more than double the price if you get it at Starbucks instead of the grocery or online. I am well aware this won't solve all your sleep problems. Trying a few things that might help a little could be enough to help get you to a point where you could get decent sleep. That is the reason I am suggesting these things. When my insomnia is really bad I have often been able to use several small things to get to the point where my body can sleep - or where the sleep medications can work. If I am overloading you with ideas, just let me know and I will scale it back. Or ignore them. (((((hugs))))) and gentle lullabies [/QUOTE]
