Very bad sleeping.....help?

within the past 2 years ive given birth to two lovley baby boys and anyone who is a parent will know once you have kids you never sleep the way you did befor you had them, well i worked fulltime till the day before i had my first son and two nights a week up until i had my second son who came 10 months and 3 weeks after my first. i went back to work 11 days after having my second son and when he was 15 weeks i started working 4 nights a week wich is now, i feel so very tired but no matter what i do i just cant get to sleep i take about three hours to wind down after work wich leaves me with only having 4 or 5 hours sleep a night. Does anyone know of a way i can wind down quickly or get to sleep fast witout drugs and hot drinks and having a shower doesnt help?

You could use liquid or capsule Skullcap, you could use Melatonin (excellent for sleep, really) or you could use Valerian. You should be able to find these in the organic section of your grocers, at any supplement store or at the pharmacy in the supplements section.
None are medication and all work with your bodies natural processes so you can relax and get some sleep. You also may want to try a gentle yoga practice after the kids go to sleep. Shiva Rea has a fantastic dvd that features a Lunar sequence. Very relaxing and not at all strenuous. It's also pretty short and has a small meditation (guided) component to it. Good luck and try one of these. I've used melatonin for a very long time as I've always had difficulty sleeping. Really helps. But anything above is good.
