I have trouble sleeping before a big event so have been trying valerian root tea it seems to help me drift off but then I wake an about an hour later startled & unable to go back to sleep. On normal nights I have no trouble sleeping any ideas or suggestions please?

    Try taking a slightly high dosage of melantonin for a short term issue. Also is your name Rhiannon cause if so that awesome.

      I get 5 milligram at CVS and on rare occasions I take two. Also ZZZQuil works if not used to much. I love that name I had two hamsters names Rhiannon and nix

      I live in Massachusetts so I couldn't tell you if its UK or not but it's by the same people as NyQuil just without the cold medicine.

    I read somewhere that you need a prescription to get melatonin in the UK.
