Do you have a sleep solution to simplify bedtime? Until recently bedtime was a huge nightmare in our house!
Bedtime Routine
My 3 kids keep me going all day. While I adore them, when it is bedtime, all I want them to do is go to sleep. I want bedtime to be SIMPLE. We have a solid bedtime routine. Bathroom, brush teeth, read books. Every night. This has worked well for our oldest who is 5. She has always been a great sleeper when she finally gets to sleep! On to my middle child…
Our Sleep Story
My son had been a terrible sleeper. FOR MONTHS. He would lay in bed and talk to himself, scream, jump, have a party, etc. Nothing was easy at bedtime. I spoke with his doctor and he said it is behavioral, ignore him. So, that is what we did. We ignored. Didn’t go in his room. This went on and on and on. I asked the doctor about melatonin and he said you can try but it probably won’t work. So, we didn’t try. A few months later after many, many nights of pure craziness, I decided we needed to do something!
The lack of sleep was catching up with him. My sweet boy was aggressive, angry, not nice to us or anyone else. His big feelings came out in big ways! I wasn’t enjoying him and no one else was either. While we knew our sweet boy was still in there, we were throwing up our arms because we had no idea what to do.
Our Miracle Sleep Solution
A former co-worker had posted about a natural kids product that she used with her kiddos. Wink Naturals Sleep Drops. I had even inquired about it for my daughter but never went through with buying it. Well, I decided to try it with my little guy! At that point, there was nothing to loose!
Here we are months later. I give him a half dose 30 minutes before bedtime. He falls asleep QUICKLY- under 15 minutes most nights. That is great you say and it is but let me tell you what has changed…
I have my sweet, sweet boy back! The one with the incredible imagination! My child that will so sweetly offer to share his snacks with me. The little boy who is so clever, charming and asks the best questions! The one that I thought we had lost and might not get back!
My family has been impacted in the most amazing way by this AMAZING COMPANY and their products!
If you are struggling with this in your family, you won’t be sad when you try Wink Naturals Sleep Drops! They even have a 100% happy guarantee!

I should add… I was super skeptical. I don’t usually try things like this. Still pinching myself.

? sounds interesting. My 8yr old son has high anxiety and bedtime had become very difficult. We use melatonin and he is able to sleep so much better now.
I am glad that you found something that works for you.

That is interesting! I am always leery to try anything but I will have to look into those! My oldest has so much trouble falling asleep. He is calm but he just lays there and says he isn’t tired. Then I have to practically drag him out of bed for school.
