I've had insomnia off and on my whole life, especially in times of stress. It comes in waves, I'll be fine for a while, then days or weeks with 2 - 4 hours of sleep per night - often waking up at 2 or 3.
Vetiver essential oil (do terra) has been helping me A LOT! I usually can't get into the hippie voo doo stuff (sorry no offence to anyone that loves oils intended)...but I tried it on a whim and it has changed everything. My mom, brother, and sis in law all have sleep troubles, and it is helping them too! It doesn't make me drowsy at all, just slows my brain enough to drift off. Movies make me fall asleep too.
Anywho - this probably sounded like an advertisement, but I can't say enough how much it has worked for me. Just a few drops rubbed into the bottom of my big toes each night before bed. So, YAY, hippie voo doo!!
