THe later or more off track she is-the worse it is. I think she's been off track since FLorida and that's what is making it worse.Mis(s)Mannered Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18307342287952842057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1450781927507277917.post-54670865263728568482011-03-18T12:34:13.061-07:002011-03-18T12:34:13.061-07:00Thanks for the comments, ladies!

Maybe a machine would be different though?<br /><br />Laura-Does it have chamomile in it? If so-it's a no go. We have hay fever and react to anything with chamomile-like hives and asthma attacks-if we injest or inhale it. Same with lavendar! If it doesn't-might be worth checking! (even if it's for the placebo effect!) :)Mis(s)Mannered Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18307342287952842057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1450781927507277917.post-85441598744125429742011-03-18T07:08:21.363-07:002011-03-18T07:08:21.363-07:00When my oldest has difficulty sleeping, it's o...When my oldest has difficulty sleeping, it's often combined with a whole heap of anxiety about not being able to sleep in the first place, being tired in school, etc. When she struggles, we've found one dose of the homeopathic preparation Calm's Forte does the trick. Honestly, quite often I think it works because she THINKS it will work but either way, it does the trick and often seems to break the cycle. <br /><br />Night waking isn't cool. I hope everyone is resting easily soon.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1450781927507277917.post-13326293610442121862011-03-17T06:28:28.572-07:002011-03-17T06:28:28.572-07:00What about putting her to bed earlier?

When she is over tired, I can guarantee that she will be up during the night. She always seems to wake up precisely at 2:00, just b/c. No rhyme or reason. If it is earlier or later then I know something is really wrong. The other thing that my girls do is sleep with a white noise machine. It blocks out all of those "creepy" noises and keeps things constant in their rooms. IT doesn't even have to be terribly loud, just enough to filter background noise. Not sure any of this will do the trick, but wanted to offer some suggestions.Chaunciehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15749814690003472902noreply@blogger.com
