    This is so true! When I get that snacky urge before I go to bed, I have a cup of hot peppermint tea and it curbs the cravings and fills me up with no added calories. It helps me lay off the ice cream ;)

    I'd love to try these. I have no problem with the fruit, however I do not care for the smell of either lavender or eucalyptus. Are there any other scents I can try? I have had trouble sleeping for years and would really like to try something simple like this. I also do not want to take any OTC/prescription medication. Thanks!

    Brenda, I hope you saw our most recent article on "Energy Saving Light Bulbs." It seems as though they can really affect your sleeping and the production of melatonin. If you are having problems sleeping make sure you remove them from your room. Also remove any BLUE lights (mine was actually my alarm clock). Over time you should begin to restore melatonin so you have better sleep. My only other question is about your workout routine. If you aren't sleeping well then it may be time you hit the gym hard. Working out has a way of using excess energy and calming any anxiety. If you aren't doing this already then try adding it into your day. It can make a world of difference for people with sleeping issues. Adria
