CALM-A-MAMA // SWEET DREAMS

I recently added Calm-A-Mama's Sweet Dreams Insomnia Blend to my nighttime routine.  Lately Ive been sleeping alot better, but for a while there I could not quiet my brain and would literally lay there for hours before falling asleep.  I use a combo of things now when my nights start to go like that, starting with a hot bath and relaxation before bedtime.  I also will take a Calm Drop or Moon Drop about 30 minutes before bed, and spritz my pillow before I lay down with Reiki Rain's Guardian Mist.  This tincture above has been a wonderful addition to my routine.  It tastes wonderful, which is a plus, as not all tinctures do.  It's very subtle and doesn't make you feel funny at all.  Just helps relax your mind at the end of a busy day.  I think my biggest challenge is turning off my brain.  Ive tried reciting mantras, or numbers, along with deep breathing, and my mind still wanders.  Sometimes those things work, and sometimes they don't.  Luckily I don't battle severe insomnia like many people do.  It tends to come and go, and if I pay attention to my cycles I can battle it pretty easily with a little intention and forethought. 

Calm-A-Mama focuses on remedies for Mamas, but all of her blends are great for us non-mamas too!  So don't be fooled by the name :)  Although once motherhood comes to me, I may be looking here for other blends!  I'm currently waiting for her Focus Drops to come back in stock!
