Western skullcap tea is the best. It may take several teabags though.

Answer 7

Valerian is great, it doesnt smell good but it works great.  I have to warn you, it doesnt make you sleepy but when your sleeping your sleep is deeper and you dont feel groggy when you wake  up.

Answer 8

Cannabis...

Answer 9

I have heard several people say that this product has helped them sleep at night.  It is not mine and I don't sell it but I came across this site while doing some research and it might help you.

Answer 10

valerian and hops is good.  Sometimes the best cure I've found is to have like 2 or 3 beers before bed.

Answer 11

I make a tasty and guaranteed sleep tea aid for my children and I and these are the ingredients.  

1 part Passionflower

1 part Chamomile

1 part Hops flowers

1 part Valerian root

1 part Catnip

and to taste (generally about 1/4 part):

Lemongrass

Peppermint

Orange Peel

...and of course honey in your prepared tea, if you like.  Remember that medicinal teas should be steeped for 10-15 minutes to get the full benefits.
