It definitely should. I didn't think I would be able to sleep when Monkee died because he slept with me every night. But Rescue Remedy Nighttime and the supplement Melatonin (it's in with the Vitamin Supplements at any store), kept me sleeping fine. It was the waking up that was hard because I'd wake up to the realization that he was gone and we always had these cuddle sessions in the a.m. that I missed!
You should try Melatonin too. It really works and I am not kidding. I have to split the pills with a pill splitter, or else I would never be able to wake up. During the week, I usually take a 1/4 of a pill every night. Works wonders. I have taken it for a year now and I NEVER have difficulty sleeping and I have been through some things this year that should have disrupted my sleep (losing my job, breakup with long-term boyfriend, Monkee's illness, etc.). My mom thought I would need Ambien or something like that when Monkee died, but I told her "no way! I'd never wake up!" because I was fine with my Rescue Rem and Melatonin.
I use the spray for me (a few squirts on the tongue- it's like using a spray breath freshener) and the droppers for the cats.
*I forgot to add that if you touch the dropper to your cats' mouth when dosing, don't put it right back in the bottle...rinse off with warm, mild soapy water, then replace. If you put it right back in, you get "essence of cat" into the mixture, which can mess up the whole thing!

Thanks for this info.! I think my husband and I need the nighttime one! Lately, I have been waking up with my throat feeling a bit closed and feeling a little sick. Part of it is because my cat is sleeping on my head, something that hasn't happened in about a year because they were banned from our bedroom. But I also think I am not sleeping well, waking up all the time throughout the night right now, so maybe the rescue remedy will help this!:)Wendy

the above website is for general information about Rescue Remedy. I am a huge fan, I have used it myself everyday since Monkee died. If you go to a Holistic Vet, they usually mix their own "Flower Essences"- which have a lot of the same things in it as Rescue Remedy, so if you are using Vet-provided Flower Essences, you don't need Rescue Remedy (unless you want it for yourself). Monkee was on Flower Essences in the weeks before he died. The last night of his life, his Holistic Vet has us giving him the Flower Essences every hour to keep him calm and try to prevent any respiratory distress. Although he left this world that night, I really think it helped him and one of the last things I did was give him a few drops before he passed. I have said this before, but immediately after Monkee passed in my arms, by mom gave me Rescue Remedy and I truly believed it prevented me from lapsing into utter hysteria (which would have been bad for Monkee as he was passing on).
Once only sold at specialty, organic food stores (Whole Foods, Wild Oats, etc.), my Walgreens just started selling Bach's Rescue Remedy! Look for it in the headache medicine aisle. Bach is also making "Nighttime Rescue Remedy" (also available at Walgreens)- to sooth your "racing mind" and I use this every night before bed. I never have trouble getting to sleep!

this website is the Bach's info regarding pets.
http://www.petco.com/product/7743/Richard-s-Organics-Pet-Calm.aspx
And this website is for "Dr. Richard's Organics- Pet Calm." This is pretty much the same as Rescue Remedy and it's organic too. I think it's cheaper too. I bought this because my Pet Supply Store doesn't carry Bach's Rescue Remedy, but it does carry this Brand. I've been using the dropper to put a few drops in the waters I keep outside for outdoor colony cats on my street. I am trying to keep them from fighting with each other over food and it's totally working! I also put a few drops in their wet food when I feed them that. And the cat I am currently fostering- since she's a high-strung 10 month old- I also put Pet Calm in her waters and wet food.
I hope this information is helpful!

Good Luck Miles! I know a lot of the people here use something called Rescue Remedy to calm down their cats (and themselves). Ive been meaning to get it for the next car ride for a few of my scaredy cats, but I dont know anything about it. Hope everything is okay with Miles!
