Valerian

Valerian Root is most commonly used to treat sleeplessness and sleep problems. As it decreases the harmful effects of pressure from stress on a person’s body, it can also be an effective therapy for nervousness.

This herb has been studied widely and has less side effects and is safer than a prescription, although it might not be as powerful as certain prescription sleep medications. It also doesn’t create any sort of mental grogginess that you mind find in prescription drugs.
