I started taking this about 30 minutes before bed and the racing thoughts actually quiet down enough for me to drift off. Two capsules is all it takes, and I haven't woken up groggy like I did with other sleep stuff.

I've tried melatonin and a few other things, but valerian is the one that doesn't leave me groggy the next morning. I take one about an hour before bed and I'm out without that foggy feeling at 6am.

Three nights in and I’m actually waking up feeling rested instead of groggy—that earthy botanical smell when I open the bottle is a nice reassurance it’s the real deal. The capsules go down fine with water, though the size is a bit bigger than I’d like.
