Nursing School Chronicals.....things that make...

This may possibly be one of the shortest and innanest <----is this a word? editions yet.

As you may or may not remember, I have been incredibly sleep deprived. I should be able to write coffee off on my taxes for this very reason. BUT I think I have discovered a small contributor to my drowsiness.

My lotion of choice is Johnson's baby lotion. Always has been, always will be. I only changed this to Lavender Johnson's Baby Lotion when that first came out.

Do you know what lavender does to a person? Besides makes them smell pretty and soft?

Yep. Calms. Helps you sleep. yep.

Does lotion come in coffee?

No wonder I am a dormelona.

I am sleepy, too and I don't have any lavender lotion. Maybe we have a contagious disease: have you run across one that causes sleep??

Sleep is good. I worship sleep. I wrote an article about how good sleep is. You should sleep, La.

Dormelona?

Someone sent me an article recently informing me that for some men, the scent of lavender increases erectile function. The provider of this information had noticed my repeated mention of liking the scent of lavender. A connection (not necessarily accurate) was assumed between these two facts.

I do love the smell of Lavender and it does put me in the mooood. A little Barry White and Lavender lotion - who needs sleep?

I'm glad that they are putting that calming lavender into more consumer products. I think we grew some in a tire once (or was that veronica?). The only possible side effect that I know of, is that in some boys it may cause breast growth if they get too much of it. At least, that's what I've heard (also for tea tree oil). I guess it contains some kind of phytoestrogens. If lavender doesn't trip your trigger, you can always try: hops, passion flower, or chamomile (unless allergic to ragweed). Sleepytime Tea has that. So enjoy your oil, and maybe a little tea for a chaser!
