My husband told me once that sleep is easy, he just goes into the sleep room of his brain and closes the door. Voilà! Sleep. Good for him. The rest of us need a little help. We might need help with overthinking brains that won’t turn off (Passionflower, Fresh Milky Oats, Wood Betony, Skullcap). We might need help with turning the dial down on pain of various kinds (California Poppy, Chamomile, Skullcap). Many of us have nervous systems that could use a little soothing (Passionflower, Chamomile, Wood Betony, Hops, Skullcap, Lavender). Some of us need a gentle sedative that does not come with a side of regret (California Poppy, Wood Betony, Hops), and not a one of us would be harmed by the Mary Poppins of antidepressants (Lavender). Sleep is a hard thing for many people, and for some it requires a full toolbox of resources. This could be one of them. It might just be the one that allows you to Sleep Like A Husband.
