I am suffering badly from insomnia, and it sucks. It started last week and I feel like a zombie. My wife said I should just chill out watch a few movies. I wish it was that simple. I am football (soccer) crazy but my team has been kneeling with the BLM bullshit. I actually canceled sky sports at the start of July and saved a bit of money as well. Anyway, I digress. Are there any frens out there with insomnia? You cannot un-know the shit we know. The whole world has gone crazy. 🙁🤡🤡.

You can add 5-10 mg. of melatonin 30 minutes before you want to sleep. It actually is recommended in some covid protocols. I turn on either 432 HZ or 528 HZ music very quietly in the background. I have a couple favorites. MANY channels to choose from...some very busy...some just repeated tone. I also dot each side of my pillow with lavender and sometimes diffuse essential oils. Traditional Medicinal makes a "Nighty Night" tea that is effective. When I have trouble sleeping, I read or do sudoko. It can be difficult to turn your mind off...some nights no matter what I do I just can't sleep...it's usually when I have something important to do the next day. I always catch up though but I have started many a trip on just a few hours of sleep. I use My Pillow sheets and pillow and some nights I wake up in the same position I went to bed in. It's crazy.
Yes indeed. I am looking at trying out some vitamin supplements rather than prescription drugs. I will only take them for 1 week at a time and never longer. I have been through addiction issues in the past and I never ever want to go through that again. Lavender smells beautiful. I like the smell of Tiger Balm as well. If you gently rub on the temples, it really does wonders for tension headaches.
Where do you find that type of music? I keep seeing mentions of a healing frequency. I sleep like crap and now I have an infant to care for and it's worse than ever
I just Google on my phone (the last one I replaced) "432 (or 528) hertz music you tube" and I get a ton of videos. The old phone is still connected to the internet...you just can't call. I usually pick out one that plays for 8 hours or more and just let it charge while it plays. I like the videos made by Meditative Mind. I like a single tone...some are too busy for me.
I babysit my 4 month old grandson on occasion and I put this on the tv. Many have a black screen for this purpose. I just say "432 (or 528) hertz music you tube" and choices come up. I found some Curare Wellness videos I like. You just have to find the music that resonates with you. I find the baby is much more relaxed with this background music. At home I often play this music as background. I don't do this every day or every night but I do it when I feel the need...particularly if I feel like I am trying to fight off illness.
I had five children and I totally sympathize with your situation. All I ever wanted was a good night's sleep. Please take time to care for yourself...perhaps a spa bath or massage your feet with lavender or diffuse some oils for relaxation. I always used homeopathics on my children because they were easy to administer and there are some great ones out there for every situation. Take the time to massage your baby's feet and body. I practically lived in a rocking chair.
Find like minded people...La Leche League or church or neighborhood playgroup or babysitting co-op that can help support you. Try to enjoy these times for too soon they will only be memories. Little children...little problems; big children...big problems. Essentially that just means live in the moment. God bless your family. While rocking it is a wonderful time to pray for your children and your family. God loves children...He said "Suffer the little children to come unto me, for such is the kingdom of heaven."
Thank you for the advice! This baby is a miracle and I am definitely savoring every moment. The rocking chair is saving grace for sure! What homeopathics are ok to use on baby?
You can shop at Swanson or Vitamin Shoppe online or go to a local vitamin shop (even Wal-Mart) or you local grocery store. There are homeopathics for gas, teething, colic, colds...really just about anything. The directions always say what ages they are for. I had children in the 80's and used mostly single remedies but now there are many blends to choose from. Homeopathics are an entire study...there are many great reference books...Dana Ullman comes to mind. But many, many good books. Actually you can buy kits with many basic single remedies. Three remedies to always have on hand for children are Chamomilla for pain and fever, Apis for stings and Arnica for bumps and bruises. HOMEOPATHY really is an interesting study and gives you a lot of autonomy in keeping your children well and out of the doctor's office.
