hi everyone
Just wondering if anyone has any advise on natural products that can aid with sleep?
My Nan before and since being diagnosed with Alzheimer’s seems to be up and down a lot in the night, it’s probably when she is most active, some nights it’s just to go the toilet or she’s restless, others she is up and down all night which causes her to be exhausted the next day and my grandad to have so little sleep.
She has been prescribed medication to help with her sleep but this hasn’t seemed to have a great effect, we have also moved her donepezil to the evening following their advise as she was getting too drowsy in the day.
Has anyone found using essential oils? Sleep related lavender products such as body creams/ pillow sprays to be effective?
We find if she has had a settled night she faces the next day a lot better with less anxiety and confusion, a bad night sleep and she will then sleep all day with little motivation to eat/ go anywhere
All ideas and opinions appreciated
