I am HOPING the valerian does it for you. If it doesn't give you side effects SUPER DUPER!
Here are some other ideas for sleeping peacefully:
Begin to dim the lights an hour or so before bed. This will tell your brain/body to slwo down!
Drink some tea, put on relaxing music, read something enjoyable (but nothing exciting as that will keep you awake).
A little while before you get into bed, picture yourself sleeping peacefully. Breathe in and out slowly and picture things in slow motion. Allow your body to relax.
If I think of anything else I'll let you know! My goal, G-d willing, is to get off the fibro meds. Might sound crazy...but I'm determined (I say this as I'm in a flare myself right now!) I will need to do this in order to have children and it's important to me! And I believe I will do it. With meditation, eating right, relaxing, taking care of myself, praying (lots of that!), and vitamins/supplements. I have been slowly integrating the things I wrote above. The only reason I'm in a flare right now is because I overate the past couple of days and didn't get enough liquids (I didn't listen to my body!) and I pushed myself to the core (again...didn't listen to my bod!)
I hope that the things I'm doing thata re helping me so much will help you too *hugs* We ALL desevre health!!!!
