I told myself I would get through this week of work (really MUST get sleep or I'm a zombie...and I have too much to do), and then next week really start tapering off it.

Anyone use Valerian? I noticed that the SleepyTime tea I used to buy has it as an ingredient, but then realized I could buy the vitamin itself and add it to any teas (I like to switch up flavors from time to time).
