[Everything doTERRA] Re: Clary Sage for Sleep?

I have had some big problems with sleep for nearly five years due to menopause issues (hot flashes every two hours will take a toll on sleep).  Using the oils I've had great help with the hot flashes, (still have some temperature issues, but dramatically improved), I sleep better too.  I've used Clary Sage on my feet and diffuser for two years and I'm convinced it is PART of my improvement, but a couple weeks ago on a whim I decided to put a drop of Clary Sage under my tongue ... I don't care for the taste, but I awoke the next morning absolutely stunned - I not only felt drowsy sooner (I read till I can't keep my eyes open), but even better - my sleep was so DEEP!  I've been using it now (twice a day) for two weeks ... just one drop under my tongue and it has been consistent.  At night it seems to help me get drowsy, but doesn't in the morning.  I believe it is helping me with many of my symptoms, which include anxiety (which I never had before the menopause symptoms started).  I still wake up some nights, I go right back to sleep, but best of all - the sleep is deep, and that's what I've needed.  I feel rested and like my body is able to heal and revitalize itself.

I was looking around the website for tips when dealing with insomnia. I've been having problems for about a month now. Every night before bed, I use ten drops of Serenity and Lavender mixed with Jojoba Oil and put it on the bottom of my feet. I also put it under my nose and on my forehead. I relax with this on for about an hour before bed while reading a book. I put some more under my nose before I go to sleep, but I am still having major issues falling asleep. I was reading some posts about how clary sage has helped some people with sleeping. Has this helped anyone else? Does anyone have any other ideas for me? Anything is appreciated! I am new to essential oils and am trying to get the hang of it. It was recommended by my therapist. I know that the insomnia is caused by anxiety. I started having anxiety attacks a few months ago. I have those pretty much under control. I think it's now turned into not being able to fall asleep, because I have never had this problem before.
