So I put my i pod on and play my grief list I have complied which has hymns,angel songs and things that make me happy and then if I wake up in the night I can just turn the music back on and listen. It has been one of the only things that I have been able to use to stop the what ifs and the mental workout my brain would have every night. I also gave up caffeine during the day very sad thing but has helped also.Ramblings I know but that is what has helped me.Our Familyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13408977434660907267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6999892652000718566.post-63500812286196832222009-11-20T12:28:15.590-05:002009-11-20T12:28:15.590-05:00I take 2 Benadryl every night.

Its non habit forming and it always lulls me to sleep without knocking me out and I dont wake up with that hangover effect some sleep aides can give you. My doctor reccomended I take it. Glad you got an ordament! It was almost like Elliot put it on your cousins heart to get it for you bc he knew you needed it. *HUGS*The Blue Sparrowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08196234778836756227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6999892652000718566.post-39581513763890844662009-11-20T00:50:04.138-05:002009-11-20T00:50:04.138-05:00There is a natural sleep aid you can get from heal...There is a natural sleep aid you can get from health food shops called Valerian. I found that would work really well if you get yourself in the zone by having a warm bath with a few drops of lavender to chill you out and your own version of meditation and then the valerian. I hope you get a good nights sleep soon xxKristaleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14636509405885904105noreply@blogger.com
