yes this is true. lavender has calming effects. or you can burn a lavender scent candle before you go to sleep and have the smell in your bedroom. |

I guess it works. I have the same problem as you. My shampoo is by Aromatherapy and it's scented Lavender Vanilla and it even says so on the bottle that it's supposed to help sleeping.
So yes, buy some lavender oil!
Good luck :) |

it relaxes the mind and body, so does chamomile OIL not lotion |

my mum swears by it but ive used it and all it did was attract bleeding wasps- take some co codamol pain killers if you are desperate as a one off they will make u sleep in no time -only take 2 tho |

yes appartently it has a calming effect but if ya have trouble sleeping, people say if u are in bed longer than 15 mins and not sleeping then u should get out of bed and do something like reading then go back to bed after 30 mins to 1 hour |

Melatonin is a great help; lavendar helps me relax but I wouldn't say it helped me sleep. You can take 1 or 2 tablets of melatonin at bedtime and sleep well, and wake up naturally with no headlag like you get with sleeping pills. |

It has always helped me, but don't us too much as you'll end up smelling it all day. |

it doesn't help sleeping as such it just relaxes you, prompting you to sleep. |

Hi, fellow occasional insomniac,
Yes,every now and then I get that 'when the hell am I going to sleep' feeling.
A few drops of lavender oil (a spray is even better) across the pillow works a treat.
Very relaxing.
Just don't try it while your'e driving. |

Anything that will comfort you is the trick. 1-keep a log for 6 weeks of what you eat-drink-stress-tv,....etc. Find out what triggers it. 2-relax 30 mins before bed: no tv, phone calls, text msgs, etc. Strictly, clear your mind. 3-try meditating before bed. Certainly wont hurt you. 4-Don't anticipate the next days worries. Leave that for tommorow. My best to you. |

You can buy lavender pillows....They really do help. Also if it's only for the odd night buy an oil burner and put it in your room for half an hour before you go to sleep xx |

I think lavender is useful for relaxation - it also happens to be very handy to have around as a cleansing spray for those with curly hair (mix 5-10 drops in a spray bottle of water), as well as vital to use on skin burns (use straight). It's a must in my medical kit.
For occasional bouts of insomnia though, I'd make sure you also elminate as many sources of light in your room as possible (or wear an eye mask), as melatonin levels are dramatically affected, even by a little night light. Chamomile tea and Rooibos teas are also good relaxation aids before bedtime as is a foot massage with warm sesame oil. If you need *sleep*, not just a little nudge though, valerian root capsules should do the trick! |
