Re: Herbal Sleep Remedy, Melatonin
Ryan...I'd recommend going with Valerian root. I do want to warn you about something though. When you open that bottle, your head is going to snap back. The smell is gawdawful. They're capsules, so they don't taste like that, but boy howdy, if you're not prepared for that smell it can really knock you over.
I'd don't have any, but you might also want to read the label on the Celestial Seasons "Sleepy Time" tea. It most likely has chammomile in it, another herbal relaxant, and might have other things. The ritual of making tea is in itself relaxing. It might make a very nice "end of the day/sleep ritual" for you.
Aromatherapy works for a lot of people. I've often used candles (safely located, of course) in my bedroom at night to help me in falling asleep. I like to watch the flickering, too. It's very relaxing.
