TwiceToddler "B" and Sleepwalking

This evening, when I got home from bible study and Walmart to bet more Puffs Kleenex, I was in my bedroom for a little bit and I hear one of my twins talking. My twins are in bed, sleeping, so when I heard one of them talking, I had to go in their room and look.

When I walk in their room, I see Twin "B" on her knees, talking at the wall. So, I get down on my knees, tap her on her shoulder and say, "Twin "B", Twin "B", are you alright honey? I turn her around and look her in the eyes and say, "Are you praying sweetie?" Twin "B" looks at me, smiles and hugs me them, as if in a trance, she just gets back into bed. Like nothing ever happened. She just curls up into a ball again and goes right back to sleep.

It was the strangest thing I have ever seen.

This is the first time I have ever seen any of my twins "sleepwalking".

TwiceToddlers have been Sick

Since last Sunday, my TwiceToddlers have been sick. Even with all the supplements and healthy foods I give them to eat; along with making sure they wash their hands, they still became sick. Twin "A" was sick first when her coughing came back, them a fever came upon her. Her fever was a little over 100, but she was not too fussy.

Then, Twin "B" came down with her coughing again and today, this afternoon, the fever came over her. Her fever was also a little bit over 100; Twin "B" too was not fussy, but quite and tired.

Yesterday, my twins had dance class, but only Twin "B" went as she seemed fine yesterday morning. It was not until last night that Twin "B"s cough came back in full force.

Then, this morning, I decided not to take my twins to preschool to expose them to the high winds outside and the crazy rain coming down all over my city. So, today, my twins stayed home and pretty much rested and just drank liquids as they were not hungry at all.

Right now, I am just praying they heal up and are better before Friday so they can go back to preschool and get back to their little toddlers selves...

TwiceToddlers Mom shows you How to Go to Sleep Without Prescription Drugs

These days, it takes a lot for many people to fall asleep. In fact, there are many commercials about asking your doctor to prescribe you a sleeping aid. The problem with sleeping aids is, they can become additive, even if the label or your doctors says they are not addictive. There are several ways in which you can fall asleep without becoming addicted to a drug or having any side effects.

BREATHE RIGHT STRIPS: For a long time now, these Breathe Rights Strips have been on the market. These little strips will help you sleep better because they open up your nasal passage. They allow you to be congestion free, along with no more snoring. It is never easy to fall asleep with a stuffy nose and runny eyes. Runny eyes usually coincide with a stuffy nose. There is something about the way this product is made, using a particular kind of flexible band, which allows for your each side of nose to lift up. With each side of your nose lifts up, you are now able to sleep better. The snoring is also subside.

SLEEPING SPRAY AND LOTIONS: Another great, and drug free way, of falling asleep faster at night is by using applying aromatherapy spray on your pillow at night. Aromatherapy is a great sleeping aid. You can use between one to three spritz on your pillow and sheets. Along with the spray, rubbing any aromatherapy lotion on your arms and neck will relax you. In no time, probably ten to fifteen minutes, you will fall asleep. It really works and this is a great drug free way of getting to sleep fast. Along with these products shown, you can also try Lavender Oils, Sandalwood Oils, Lavender Chamomile and many more.

HUMIDIFIERS: There are several humidifiers on the market today. There is one humidifier that allows you to sleep better. The one in this photo is not it. But, the Vicks Humidifier, V3500N Cool Mist, will allow for you to fall asleep. It lets out a cool mist, allowing you to breathe better. When you are able to breathe better, you can also sleep better.

LISTENING TO RELAXING MUSIC: If none of the above is a way you would want to fall asleep, how about music? The sounds of nature or classical music are another way to fall asleep. Listening to the sound of rain or thunder will put you to sleep. Having some other white noise (dishwasher, dryer or washer) in use, somewhere in your home, is a good way to fall asleep.

Sleeping these days seems to be one thing many of us lack. If there are better ways to fall asleep, without drugs, any of the above solutions will help you. Drugs are not always the solution, unless you have apnea. If you have sleep apnea, you need to be under a doctor's care.
