Mama&PapaTeak

We got word tonight that Friday is a definite and we get to bring the girls home. Aside from Ambien and Lunesta does anyone have any suggestiong for getting to sleep at night. I feel like the little boy in the Disney commercial....."I'm too excited to sleep."

Unfortunately we still will be posting at six months of age, but hey it's not like we have never done it before. We just really did not want to deal with it.

Here is their latest from Saturday..

How exciting for you. I would have problems sleeping also. If you can't sleep, here are some tips that might help you:
-try a warm bath to help relax
-read a book that does not capture your interest too much.(it might keep you up longer)
-listen to some calm, relaxing music(maybe while in a warm bath)
-some people use meditation
-if all else fails, there is always OTC sleep aids for a one night fix. Some people will use Melatonin with some results if you want a natural route.
-Try not to let your mind fixate on it.

I hope some of that helps you out. Can't wait to see homecoming pics.

Congrats Teak!

I sometimes take Nyquil if I can't sleep. Any of the PM meds do it. Sometimes throwing a blanket in the dryer for 15 mins and snuggling up with it nice and toasty helps too!

If you want to go natural... another one to try is Valerian Root.

Or Rescue Remedy, which can also be used on the dogs. It's a liquid and you can get it here at Natural Food stores, or order online.

Or there's a good ol' fashioned glass of wine.

I vote for the glass of wine. Red please. White doesn't do it for me.
