I have been thinking about sleep a lot lately. Thinking about it, not necessarily getting it. 😊

With a newborn, cuddles, feedings, and diaper changes are the norm along with small bits of sleep. While that is my current experience with the dance of sleep and wakefulness, I understand and empathize with those who are finding sleep evading them for other reasons. A health condition that has made sleep rather elusive for years, current worries surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic dominating the news and perhaps our daily lives. Worries about a loved ones’ health, financial worries, mental health worries. There’s a lot to take in right now.

Some of the herbs I have been turning to the most are the ones that are perfect for aiding in relaxation and sleep. After each of my little moments I feel more rested and can sit in a place of calm and action rather than reaction. That’s a place I hope for all of us to experience each day, even if just for a few minutes.
