I recently introduced Valerian to my husband. Its not a person, its an herb that helps you relax. He's been taking it in tincture form. When you take it you sleep deep and dreamlessly. At least for 4 hours. I usually take it when i have a hard time getting my body to relax. some nights even though my mind is tired and ready to go to sleep my body feels like it could to spend 2 hours in the gym again
