Well Ive tried everything now, but it is rather hot in this flat, and didnt sleep till almost 4.

Quick Q, I have an oil burner, what oil shall I get adnn where can I get it cheapest ( not internet, i need it for tonight)

Lavender oil is supposed to help, they sell it at Boots or Holland and Barratt.

i also heard about lavender. u can put a couple drops on pillow and a few drops in a bath and have that before bed. i not sure on where to get it ho, sorry.

the only way i can sleep at night is if i have the fan going all night. as even in the heat i can only sleep if i snuggle under a duvet. i have to snuggle which is a nightmare in the summer

Holland and Barret are good for oils and I like Tisserand.
Don't but the cheaper oils they are not so good.

Lavendar really does work. I was very sceptical but slept like a log the first time I used it - I still put it down to coincidence, but it works every time. Don't use too much, just two drops on your pillow should do the trick

I rub it on my feet. There was an interview on local news a while ago with a lavender farmer and he said it never fails and it does help me.

would this help with children. i have a daugther who will be 3 in october and some night she is so tired she can't sleep. would a couple of drops on her pillow help her doze off.

we have a lavender shop up the road from me , they make lavender everything. even lavender scones and butter i been told.

Boots do oils - their sleep range is very good too.

They used to do a Basil and lavendar? cream in a tube that you heated up - in the tube in hot water and then you rub in over your shoulders.

We lost my dad on boxing day last year an mum wasn't sleeping well - a friend bought her some of this - she was very impressed!

As far as your daughter is concerned yes I put Lavender oil on my childrens' beds. Lots of bedtime bath and soothing massage lotion for babies include lavender and chamomile.

This is a fantastic buy
I bought some myself last week for the sole purpose of helping induce sleep
