I just took two tablets of melatonin an hour ago and it hasn't done a damn thing for me. I don't want to take sleeping pills because they make me extremely groggy in the morning.Health Question & Answer
Answers:
Different people will offer you different answers about valerian vs. melatonin. No one is right; they are just personal opinions. I once wrote a long list of natural sleep aids and have pasted it below. Perhaps the list will give you some ideas. It is so long it may put you to sleep.
There are herbs that are helpful for sleep, eg, valerian root, kava kava, chamomile, hops, passion flower, skullcap. If you get the real herbs, you can make teas out of them. Otherwise get the herbs in capsule form. Probably, valerian root and kava kava are the best.
You can also try trytophan, 5-HTP and melatonin (1-2 mg). I would not take melatonin for over a month unless a doctor says it is ok. Melatonin is a hormone produced by the pineal gland. If you take too much, your pineal gland might get "lazy" and produce less melatonin naturally. Life Extension and TwinLabs are probably the best brands, in that order.
A warm bath is a great way to relax in order to sleep. If you can
