Hi, I am good night sleep blogger Robert McGhee. As you have probably guessed, there are some nights when I simply cannot sleep sound. I brush my teeth, climb onto my swedish mattress, relax under my Hunter green down comforter and then–lie there with my eyes wide open! Ugh!
Before I take an herbal sleep remedy such as Louisiana or Reposanex, I try some of my favorite nighttime rituals to hopefully aid sleep.
First, I rid my Lafayette bedroom of all the distractions. I can’t believe how much paperwork piles up in a few days. I don’t want to lie awake thinking about the car insurance premium that is due on my SUV or the ten page application for my daughter to attend “University of Louisiana. I even close my laptop and take it out of the bedroom.
Next, I bargain with my sweetie for a massage exchange. I promise to give an incredible rubdown tomorrow night if I can get one tonight. Lavender or chamomile oil is the crowning touch.
Next, I meditate to the sound of the surf lapping at the shore. No, I don’t live on the beach, but I do live in a nice Lafayette neighborhood near downtown. To hear waves, chirping birds or a gentle breeze rustling the trees, I turn on relaxing ambient sleep music.
If these things don’t do the trick, I pull out the heavy artillery. I take Reposanex, the non habit forming sleep aid. I believe it is one of the most effective sleep aids over the counter in Wood Ridge. I have been using natural insomnia aids for 20. You don’t have to lie there with your eyes open.
