I'm
 awake at 3:00 a.m.--again--while everyone else is asleep.  For many 
years I've been awake between 1 and 4 a.m, when worry and anxiety would 
creep in.  I've started using wild yam cream for easing hormonal 
imbalance, and I've noticed that is has helped shorten the awake time 
and lessen the feelings of worry and anxiety.  Last week while I was out
 of town at a seminar, I forgot to bring my cream and I had sleepless 
nights.  When I got home and used the cream, I slept a bit better.  
Tonight I'm fully awake again and realized that I neglected the cream 
for the past couple of days.  Noticing that pattern, I think I'm in a 
position to say that for me, wild yam cream does seem to have a positive
 effect on my ability to sleep and have more inner peace in the middle 
of the night.  I can't say that the hot flashes have significantly been 
affected.  I'm still hoping for relief from those.Betty B. Ready
