The directions on Valerian say take 1 hour before bedtime with a glass of water. If you take a combination with melatonin or Kava Kava, drinking juice is fine. I drink lots of juice, but milk or fatty foods before bedtime will limit the effects of sleep aids.
When you buy herbal remedies like Valerian, make sure you get the kind that say "Standardized Extract" or something similar, which guarantee a standard portion of the potent part of the plant. Standardized extracts will almost always cost more than non-standardized, but you know what you are getting is the real thing in measured amounts.

I will be passing by a Rite-Aid and Walgreens this weekend and read the labels. I must be in bed by 8PM to awake by 4.5 AM. I like veggie juice with a splash of hot sauce stirred in. If I sleep later, you will know:):)
