Actually, the best herb to help with deep relaxation and sleep is valerian extract, or valerian root. You can pick up bottles of it (available in capsule form, and sometimes in teas) at your local supermarket in the vitamin and herb section. Valerian extract/root is completely harmless, 100% natural, and actually works better than most all over the counter sleeping pills!

Valerian is a drug and can interact with other drugs. It is not "completely harmless." Consult your doc or pharmacist...

Sounds great, i think i'll try it. but, is it habit forming?

It does smell funny but it works great! The only "natural remedy" that ever worked for me.
