Learning to sleep again – #ONatural

ByChristine @ theDIYdreamer

I’ve had issues sleeping for the last few years. I spend my nights tossing and turning, aching back, and absolutely no dreaming. I’m not quite sure what caused my sleeping problems, is it my back, or perhaps adult issues? I just know that I no longer enjoy going to bed like I used to years ago. In fact, I dread going to bed because I know I won’t sleep. Ok, I probably do sleep (I doubt I’d be able to function without sleeping), but it’s not a good sleep.. it’s probably more like my body shutting off a couple of times throughout the night to get some rest. I don’t even dream anymore. How sad is that?

I’ve been hoping to get over this sleep problem for a while. I’ve been day dreaming (because I can’t at night hehe) about sleeping like a baby (without the waking up in the middle of the night part haha). I mean, look at this sweet photo of Emanuelle from a few years ago, you can’t tell me she doesn’t look like she’s sleeping peacefully (yes, she had passed out on the floor). I want to sleep like this…. in my bed!

Learning to sleep again - Sleeping like a baby

Like I mentioned, I’m not certain what causes my lack of sleeping. Perhaps I have too much going on in my head and it doesn’t allow me to sleep. Stress? Anxiety? Too many things I want to do at once? I’ve been wondering if it hasn’t just become a habit? You know, like waking up in the middle of the night to go pee when you don’t really have to.. but it’s a habit. Maybe I have a no sleep habit or assume I won’t sleep so I make myself not sleep? Does this make sense?

About a month ago I decided to try something out, hoping that perhaps it would by chance help me sleep: Orange Naturals Sleep for Adults.

Orange Naturals Sleep Homeopathic

Learning to sleep again

As soon as I read this on Orange Naturals website, I knew I had to try it:  Orange Naturals Sleep for Adults homeopathic formula helps address symptoms associated with insomnia, such as inability to fall fully asleep due to exhaustion, irritation, worries or excessive mental excitement.

I LOVE that Orange Naturals Sleep for Adults is a homeopathic and so it is non habit forming and does not causes grogginess in the morning: all very important to me! Some of the benefits include: relieves insomnia, relieves nervous tension with sleeplessness, calms an overactive mind, eases restlessness, and promotes healthy sleep patterns.

I remember when I received it, I was so looking forward to bedtime to try it out. Like seriously, I kept looking at the time hoping 8:30-9:00pm would show up (yes, I was even planning to go to bed early to try it out.) When it was FINALLY bedtime, I read the instructions and applied drops under my tongue and off to bed I went.

The next morning, (YES… no updates in the middle of the night!!) I woke up from a full night of sleep!! I actually remember dreaming too! NO KIDDING! You have no idea, how happy I was when I woke up… realizing I had slept all night, and super well too! When you’ve spent so long not sleeping well, this was a pure miracle.

I used Orange Naturals Sleep for Adults for an entire week and slept like a ”baby” every night. After a week, I stop using it to see if I’d sleep. And I did!! It really helped me get over my sleeplessness. I’m so happy I’m able to sleep again! It does happen once in a while that I toss and turn, and when it happens I get up and take some and fall right to sleep.

A few weeks back I had a terrible cold and I didn’t have anything to take as a cold remedy and I knew it was going to be a rough night without anything. I decided to see if Orange Naturals Sleep for Adults would help me sleep even though I had a cold, and it absolutely worked! I’m now equipped with Orange Naturals Cough+Cold Night.

The verdict, learning to sleep again was made easy thanks to Orange Naturals Sleep for Adults! I’m so thankful that I’m now able to sleep again! I think I will pick up the Orange Naturals Sleep Tight for kids. Gabrielle has been having a hard time falling to sleep lately (her mind keeps wandering, just like her mom!).

  1. Sleep is another of those things that seem to change as we age. I have about 5 nights a month where I wake up and can’t go back to sleep until it’s almost time to get up. During that period I take a Tylenol PM and it does help. I’m glad you’ve found a solution for your sleeplessness.

  2. I need to pick some of this up for my daughter. She has the hardest time falling asleep. She’s been using the Orange Naturals Calm and it helps, but I wonder if this would be more effecting. Thanks for sharing.

  5. I am lucky that my kiddos sleep hard and well so this has not been an issue for them. Me, on the other hand, well I can use all the help I can get (heck I am even typing this at 3am!)

  6. Oh my goodness – it’s like you’re reading my mind. I’ve been on the hunt for some natural sleep aids. I’ve tried a few and my mind is still wandering. And yes – I want to dream too. I’m glad you’re getting the sleep you need, and I will definitely try this and see if it works for me. Thanks so mucH!
