That’s how I use valerian as well. It’s a low-level benzodiezapine, so it works well as a sedative. When my brain is going a mile-a-minute, I have a hard time shutting down. Valerian helps to counteract that, and the side-effects are much more pleasant than drinking myself to sleep (when I used to drink).

Valerian works quite well, but what works even better, is GABA (gamma-Aminobutyric acid) an amino acid that’s responsible for why the benzodiazepines work so well. Safe, natural, and very effective.
