Valerian works wonders for most people for sleep alright as Sarah mentioned. Just a little extra though.
In 10%-15% of the population, it has an opposite effect. I'm one of them. Valerian gave me the worse case of caffeine-like jitters that I've had in quite a while. (But then caffeine has little effect on me - go figure!)
Ahh! Brain chemistry! Such a mystery.
