Is there an herbal sleep aid that I can take with valerian to help improve getting to sleep better.?

Thursday, September 17th, 2009 by

I just started taking valerian to help me with my sleep troubles but feel that its not enough (1000mg-1500mg). Is there an herbal sleep aid that I can take with valerian to help improve getting to sleep better.

There is some evidence that Melatonin can provide temporary relief. Be careful with St. John’s Wort.

The evidence in favor of cognitive-behavioral therapy for insomnia is good. The Handbook of Self-Help Therapies reports that it has a 75% success rate. On the other hand, it’s not easy to access the people who provide it. That’s why the Handbook is important for insomniacs. It says that some popular books are based self-help principles proven in clinical studies, books such as No More Sleepless Nights by Peter Hauri, Can’t Sleep, Can’t Stay Awake: A Woman’s Guide to Sleep Disorders by Meir Kryger, and Say Goodnight to Insomnia by Gregg Jacobs. You can order these from Amazon.com and probably Amazon UK as well.

    Chamomile tea would be good. St John’s Wort might also be worth checking out.

    Sleepy time time and ask the pharmacist about melatonin. You don’t want to mix these without professional advice.
