Tea To Help You Sleep!

It is said that "valerian root" is nature's Valium. I'll save you a quick Google, and let you know that Valium is a drug that induces sleep and aids in insomnia (while also treating anxiety/panic attacks).

Instead of reaching for sleeping aids, or dipping into the Neocitran when you don't really need it, try some of these calming tea's containing valerian root to help drift you off to zzz-land.

An all-time childhood favourite... in EXTRA format! Just discovered this bad boy!

I've actually been living off of Sleepytime Extra the last couple of nights since I've been sick with a cold. It makes everything groovy before lights out, and I look just like the bear, with Valley of the Dolls in hand.

Dangers of Sleeping Aids
- dependence, causing sleeplessness without it
- less REM sleep which is the healing and restful deep sleep that our bodies need
- they have been said to cause death (to be confirmed)
- can make it hard to wake up if you need to in the middle of the night for an emergency!
