There is nothing like a good night's sleep. Go without and you quickly miss it.
While I can sleep like a cat (+14 hrs, in various places around the house) I often have difficulty getting to sleep when I try to go to bed at a reasonable hour (9pm-11pm).
To aid this, I tried Valerian root. It gave me a 30 minute window after taking it before I felt its effects.
It made my mind slow down a little (not dulling, but calming), helped my muscles relaxed, and overall was quite effective.
I did like that if you didn't go to bed and work with it, it didn't knock you out. You can shake this off if you need to (sometimes emergencies arise).
The two downsides:
- you can't take it too often. Your body eventually gets used to it. To make it effective again, you need to stop using it for a while (I found this took 5-7 days).
- Some mornings after taking it, if I didn't get 7-8 hours sleep, I felt sluggish.
Overall, it may be a good place to start if you are having a little trouble sleeping.
Price: 2/5 (RRP $36.49 for 60 tablets)
Scent: 2/5 (leaves a little bit of an aftertaste, but not strong)
Effectiveness: 4/5
