Everyone knows that sleep is vital to everyday health and functioning. But from Thanksgiving to New Year’s, people run themselves ragged, losing out on necessary rest. Not only do the holidays come just after daylight saving time, but the stress of traveling or having a house full of guests can all impact sleep schedules in a major way.

Natural Sleep Aid Options

To cope with occasional sleeplessness, many turn to natural solutions, such as supplements, essential oils, and old-fashioned remedies like herbal teas. Melatonin is one of the most well-known sleep supplements adults and kids use nightly. While it can offer support when the circadian cycle has been shifted (e.g., jet lag or night shift work), melatonin may not be for everyone. Because it is a hormone, some people are sensitive and experience side effects, or can’t take it due to a medical condition or medication. 

Homeopathic sleep aids, including SleepCalm by Boiron, provide families with a melatonin-free option on sleepless nights. With its blend of plant-based active ingredients, SleepCalm helps rebalance waking and sleeping states and produces healthy, restorative sleep. Each ingredient targets a different sleep symptom, so it’s useful for occasional sleeplessness and restless sleep, as well as reducing difficulty falling asleep from worries or exhaustion.* The meltaway tablets are easy to take without water at bedtime or any time during the night for calming relief. 

SleepCalm is also available in a convenient liquid dose for children 3 years and older, so no one has to be a tired, grumpy grinch this time of year.
