I don't have trouble sleeping, but lately I've been sleeping much later than usual (to the tune of 2AM...and I have to be up at 8AM for work!). I received a tin of Badger's Sleep Balm for feature in the magazine I work for, and I've been happily using it to help readjust my body clock to sleep at 12MN (or even earlier if I can). Its main ingredient is lavender, which, according to the book Aromatherapy, helps lull you to sleep without the side effects and the dependency that using commercial drugs might bring.I still haven't achieved my goal of 12MN, but I've been noticing that I've been sleeping at 1:30AM (any later and I could feel my body complain). That 30 minutes of extra shut-eye is a good start.
