This being the great nerve salt, it becomes the chief remedy in disturbances of sleep, when due to worry, mental overwork, sorrow, business troubles, excitement or other nervous causes. Yawning and stretching, somnambulism, restlessness, crying and screaming of children during sleep, frequent dreaming.
Dr. J. H. King reports a case of sleeplessness in a woman. Could not go to sleep at night until 1 or 2 o'clock, and sleep was not refreshing; in the morning, upon arising, felt so "tired;" sleep disturbed by dreams; appetite poor; tongue coated brownish. Kali phos., 3x, a powder night and morning. Did not see the case again for two weeks, at which time she said:
"Oh, Doctor, I sleep so well now! go to sleep as soon as I retire, and wake in the morning feeling refreshed. My appetite is enormous, and all that nervousness is gone."
