THANKS FOR ALL THE INPUT SO FAR!!!
Last night we went to a local WM and was looking at all the various options as far as melatonin. While we were standing there looking my son sees a 'Calming Sleep' essential oil and gets pretty excited.
We have an oil diffuser at home we used to use with peppermint oil to try and help my wife's headaches.
I figured for $5.76 it was worth a try. My thinking when I purchased it was whether the oil in the diffuser actually works or not, him thinking that it would help might just do the trick.
Last night we watched a movie with the diffuser blowing out the smell and white "smoke" of the 'Calming Sleep' oil. My wife and I didn't care for the smell of it very much but he seemed to like it.
After the movie he went to bed around 9:15 and had no trouble falling a asleep at all. Now whether it was the movie, or the staying up 15 minutes later, or the Calming Sleep oil, or the fact that he seemed pretty tired from PE from the day before, who knows...hopefully we can narrow down which of them help over the next couple of days.
We didn't let him go to sleep with the oil diffuser working last night, telling him we had to figure out how much water to put in it to get it to last a certain amount of time. It looks like 1/4 full=1 hour, 1/2 full = 2 hours, etc. and it automatically cuts off. Haven't decided whether to put it in his room and let him go to sleep with it going or not (it's very cool with a nice glow of colors that change ever so often).
Again, thanks for all the help so far!!!
