Like a Crocop kick to the head...

Just thought I'd recommend something that may be useful to some of you.

I've been doing a lot of endless rotating for a few hours before falling asleep recently, and have tried melatonin, ZMA and even nytol with virtually no effect (on sleep).

Yesterday I was looking in the herbal tea section for something else, and I saw Clipper Sleep Easy tea.

This stuff REALLY works - I drank it then tried to stay up for a while to finish up something I was doing but felt really sleepy, so went to bed - next thing I know it's 10.5 hours later!

Ingredients are all herbal: cinnamon, chamomile and valerian. Cost is under 2 quid for 20 bags.

Recommended.

I have a colleague with some "issues" at the moment and he's taking valerian and zinc and is sleeping "better than he has for decades".

[GoldenArrow]

Yep, got it from Tescos (who didn't have what I actually wanted, but never mind..)

Thanks for the tip, may give it a try if I have issues. I currently use ZMA and it seems to be working for me.

Thanks. I've worked shifts for 7 years and my sleeping patterns are horrible. I will try this out.

I get a similar effect from most non-caffeinated hot drinks. I drink a lot of Bovril before bed but decaff coffee does the same for me (although it is the spawn of the devil).
