Help with Sleep
There are many reasons adults and children do not sleep well. If you are a grown up it could be nightmares about hair drug testing, if you are a child it could be a range of things from hunger, to a need to use the toilet, to stress. The best approach for everybody is to educate yourself on your options and try a variety of low impact approaches.Your first line of defence is using aromatherapy. This can take the form of a lavender scented warm bath before bedtime. An alternative is to buy lavender essential oils and use them to scent a pillow, or with a diffuser to scent the whole room. If it is for a child, there are a variety of cuddly toys with pockets that you can fill with real lavender.Drinking teas is another classic approach. Chamomile tea has relaxing properties and scientific research has proven that it has a wide range of medical qualities that include, antispasmodic and antiseptic properties. When giving it to young children, it is important to resist the use to sweeten it as the sugar may contradict its calming properties.The other thing to be weary of is the consumption of any liquid before bedtime, because if the sleeplessness has to do with bed wetting problems this might exacerbate it. There are foods that contain a amino acid called tryptophan which releases serotonin in the brain, which will have a calming effect. It is available as a supplement, but is also found in high levels in broccoli and pumpkin seeds.
