Reply With QuoteI`ve never tried the tea...I see no reason in being able to get to sleep only to be woken up a couple of hours later dying for a piss
I have tried the tablets though, and they did somewhat help.

For a couple of weeks now i have been taking valerian in pill form, one with each meal, and have been sleeping alot better... but the normal dose iss two pills per meal, so maybe since i'm taking half the dosage, I haven't been waking up groggy... your body prolly just needs to get use to it

Does it really work for you? After how many days did you see results? How many a day?Last edited by Vvitto; 08-16-2002 at 02:27 AM.

I did some reasearch on the web where they say to drink 2-3 cups a day;seems a tad too much for me as I just made a cup and still thinking how can I drink it without barfing...
There are also a few receipes about making the tea;one says to boil it a few minutes and let it stay 15 min and drink it;other says that it have to stay over night and without being boiled .
Just wondering how you made yours? Do you use honey?
I jsut want to improve my sleeping patterns and I also have a long flight from Europe back to California so I want to be able to get some sleep in plane also...Dont want to try melatonin or other pills as I rely beter on herbs.
They also say that you see results in two weeks in terms of improving one's sleep.
Any thoughts on this?The more I know , the more my fear augment!

I`m not sure if you are talking to me but........
Mine is a tablet, not tea.
I only take it on nights when I must sleep to get up very early and would not be able to normally ( I`mone of those that is often awake for a couple of hours after going to bed ).
If I wanted to sleep on the plane, I`d probably take a tablet about 20min before the food was served
, eat, and be getting sleepy not long after the tray was taken away.

Does you're body build up a tolerance to valerian root, or any other herbal calmative for that matter?

About an hour after taking one. I only take them on those bad nights though.....maybe once every 2 weeks, and they general help me sleep.....I do find though they make me sleepy for about an hour, and if I don`t actually fall asleep in that time then I`m fucked....not sleeping at all......and I do feel pretty groggy the next morning.
One day doubled the dose....DON`T do this....I had a MAJOR headache for two days!!!
