Do you have trouble staying asleep
as well as getting to sleep?

Valerian extract is shit (tried it) sleeping pills vary in effectiveness. Some of them will get you to sleep but not keep you asleep, and others result in heavy oversleeping. A lot of brands don't work on me, the only one that does caused some pretty nasty side effects

almost entirely just getting to sleep
the ones I've had in the past, I passed out at 8pm and didn't wake up till 3pm the next day. Can't be having that.

I've used a couple of preparations of valerian extract, one worked fine, and the other didn't at all.

if you try sleeping tablets
you'd be best off just taking a half, then staying awake as long as you can manage it. Of the two types my mother has, one is designed specifically as a sleep aid to help you get to sleep, but does not maintain sleep, would you like me to source the name? You should wake up fine after it, but probably earlier than usual
