Winter means most people spend less time in the sunshine. And that can make falling asleep difficult.

Such was the case with me last week. The insomnia was stressing me out, the lack of sleep made stress management much more difficult and no amount of chamomile tea, reading or relaxation before bed seemed to help. I've never been the type to pop sleeping pills. But I've never had much problem falling or staying asleep until a few occasions in the past couple of years.

I've found the answer: Moon Drops. These little vanilla-flavored homeopathic lozenges cost me only a little more than $5 for a box of 30 at my local health food store (they are cheaper via this web site). And they work! For me anyway. And I don't have to stress about side effects or other problems traditional sleeping pills can cause.

Sweet dreams!
