I have a terrible case of the racing, pacing mind once I lie down at night to go to sleep. I am overcome with a mental image of my to-do list for the next day the moment my head hits my pillow.

Some of the prescription heavy-hitting sleep aids (Ambien, etc.) didn't help me at all in my endeavor to overcome this problem. The one prescription sleep aid that does consistently work for me is a heavy, heavy duty one that has many more side effects than it does benefits.

I tried the kindler, gentler route and investigated many life changes, learning more than I ever wanted to about the world of "sleep hygiene" at my GP's recommendation last year. I tried melatonin to no avail, finding I could practically take it in any form by the fistful any not feel any drowsier.

The same is not true for valerian, thankfully, or at least Gaia Herb's valerian. Gaia offers an exceptional and a potent form of the herb. No sooner than half an hour before I am ready to doze off I drop two eyedroppers full of the herb in a cup of caffeine-free tea (something strong enough to mask the flavor; typically not chamomile) and within fifteen minutes feel calmer.

Not having to worry about any negative effects on my liver or any habit-forming effects is an added bonus.
