Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, toxicity and dog-whistling are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !uspolitics@lemmy.world
7) No Hit-and-Run questions.
Please don't delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand. It's not fair to the ones who took their time to answer, and it's not in the spirit of the community.
8) No Bots.
Posts or comments from bots, LLM's, AIs, Neural Networks, Transformers, or Marvin the Paranoid Android are not welcome in AskLemmy. Real humans only please.
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

Ginger and Valerian (interestingly Valerian is the component of most bedtime teas that's associated with vivid dreams. You might actually be reacting to that, check the ingredient list on your tea or supplement).
Have you got anything against vivid dreams?
I want complete darkness until my alarm goes off.
Now it is the 2AM "Weeeeee! I lost my pacifier" and the 5AM "Daddy can I sleep in your bed"...
Nothing OTC or supplement
Good call, but the chamomile I do is just bulk "Egyptian chamomile". Not any kind of a "sleepy-time tea" or anything like that.
In the past I've done Celestial Seasonings Sleeptytime Vanilla. Love the taste. It doesn't have any Valerian either, though.
I have done Cup of Calm by Traditional Medicinals which is a mix (it doesn't have any Valerian, though) but it's honestly a little stronger than I'd like. It'd be fine on a once-in-a-while basis, but I wouldn't want to do it daily.
I honestly don't know that I've ever consumed Valerian now that you mention it. 🤔 Maybe I'll try some sometime.
Sleepytime extra does (it's the extra).
