For the last week, I have been lucky enough to have stayed home. Sadly, this was a direct result of a nasty cold I caught. Since being pregnant and teaching after school, I have caught 3 colds!! Not very fun, though the most recent one was the only one to negatively effect my sleep.
I finally bit the bullet and took a Benadryl, which hallowed me to sleep soundly and consequently feel human for the first time all week.
I hate feeling the need to fall back on drugs to get the rest my body needs. I always have, but it wasn't until a couple friends started using essential oils that I began to think about natural alternatives to support better sleep.
While my current cold is now on its way out, the order I placed won't come in time to help with it. I do hope to find some relief for both gross colds and also the occasional restlessness (something I would never consider using Benadryl for). Only time and trials will tell, so stay tuned.
