I use valerian to help me sleep sometimes but the stuff stinks bad. Does anybody know of another herbal supplement that would work?

Hmm...is lots and lots of alcohol considered herbal? J/K.
I dunno...usually I just stay up reading or online until I get sleepy. At least then ur doing something productive w/ ur time, and it gets u tired. Especially reading.
Hope u find something 2 help u sleep!

If I have alcohol I will wake up in the middle of the night and not be able to sleep again.

I know you can buy the diet supplement melatonin. I bought some for a friend at Walgreens. Warm milk is supposed to do the trick as well.

Look not mournfully into the past. It comes not back again. Wisely improve the present. It is thine. Go forth to meet the shadowy future, without fear, and with a [wo]manly heart.

I tried melatonin pills before and they gave me nightmares. Warm milk helps me sometimes but it's hard for me to drink.

No I haven't tried kava yet. It doesn't smell does it?

The smell is not very strong, but the flavor takes some getting use to. I tried it with some Samoan friends of mine, and it was very potent stuff. You use a strainer and dissolve it in water like tea, and then you just sip it and relax.

life is not the amount of breaths you take, it's the moments that take your breath away

You could try Solinine found in the Deadly Nightshades. You can get solinine suspended in alcohol solutions at health food stores.

You could also extract it from plants yourself.Except Atropa Belladonna.DONT USE ATROPA BELLADONNA...this also contains the alkaloid Atropine which is found in Jimsonweed and other Datura plants.Atropine is given in Microgram doses by injection before surgery for sedation or anesteshiac effects. Taken orally it is a CNS Stimulant.Atropine also has several very unplesant side effects from using high doses.The effects of atropine can last between 1 day to several days depending on the dose taken...SO DONT ATTEMPT TO GET SOLININE FROM ATROPA BELLADONNA

Solinine is found in unripe green potatos as well as the leaves of potato plants and other nightshade plants. It should be taken in relativitly small doses...under 2 mg...if you extract using an alcohol such as ethanol or propanol each drop of suspension solution would contain appx 500 micrograms of solinine.

One Pill Makes You Larger And One Pill Makes You Small And The Ones That Mother Gives You Dont Do Anything At All

Drink a chamomile infusion. You use the chamomile flower. Even better if you mix with St. Johns Worts. This will relax you. Good for nervous tension and stress.
