If you just want a herb to relax you, you may want to try the herb St John's Wort, which has a mild sedative effect. A suggestion: If you afford it, get a small mp3 player, and play some relaxing <a href="http://www.sleepenough.com/the-solfeggio-frequencies/" rel="nofollow">Solfeggio frequencies</a> softly, while wearing a <a href="http://www.sleepenough.com/sleep-eye-masks-are-really-useful/" rel="nofollow">sleep mask</a>. I've tried this with good success. Hi Kim,

It was very interesting. Where can I find melatonin or valerian? What stores carry them? It is nearly 1:30 AM and I am just getting tired. This is no biggie tonight as I can sleep in tomorrow. When this happens during the week it is not so great. During the week I am up at 4:45 AM to make lunches at 5:15 AM I am waking the kids and getting them moving. At 6:15 AM we have begun our 30 minute drive to the bus. From there I come back home and go directly to my office to begin my day finding loads for my husband as he is an over the road trucker. Some days all goes well and I can nap, but most days I am going until the kids get in bed at 7:30 PM. By then I am past tired and have trouble relaxing. Any suggestions would be wonderful.

So far, I think valerian is the best of the lot, but user mileage may vary. @ KB,
