Hi,

I'm researching an article on valerian root as a treatment for insomnia for The Times and I need a case study of someone who has used the supplement. If anyone has suffered from insomnia and has found valerian helpful could you contact me either on this thread or at [email protected].

Thanks,
Tom

I can't help myself Tom. But the PhD has given me sleeping problems on a number of occasions so your probably asking the right people!

Hi Tom, I take Kalms when I have difficulty sleeping which I know have Valerian in them. I find it really effective, but don't know if it's necessarily insomnia?

I might be actually, if you would like to send me an e-mail with your experience of it then I would be in a better position to judge. Thanks, Tom

i take valerian tablets in stressful times, like exam times, or crises (family member being critically ill or such), when i find i can't sleep properly for several nights in a row.
found it helps to get over crises, but when it gets really serious, i still can't sleep. so in emergencies i take prescription sleeping pills instead.
