I have to say this be very careful when it comes to melatonin but when it comes to Valerian Root take extreme caution. I used this and in less than three days later stopped because I had forgotten to take it the second night and I had actual withdrawals.I will never use that again .There is although a more user friendly herb you can take and that is passion flower. I make my own capsules and take two about a hour before I am ready for bed and I sleep like a baby all night long.
