Trouble sleeping after using Castor Oil pack

The past couple of nights, I've used a castor oil pack on my right neck right under my ear and put some castor oil in my ear. I would lay on my bed for two hours with the pack on from about 11:00 PM to 1:00 AM. After cleaning the oil off, I just can't get to sleep even though I'm tired and my eyes are heavy. I've noticed some improvement in my condition (unsteadiness, dizziness) but I've wondered if I had adequate sleep, I'd be much better.

Does anyone else have trouble sleeping after using the castor oil pack anywhere on the neck/head? Is it not recommended using the pack late at night? Is using the pack in the neck area the cause of this insomnia so I should use it in the morning versus night? Tweet
