MODERATORS
A lot of them are just subjectively calming your mind, I think, by being warm, soothing and pleasant. The main exception for me is chamomile, which I have seen some minor results with. Which is slightly annoying because I don't particularly like the flavor. At all.
It doesn't help me stay asleep though, just fall asleep. Can work sometimes when I've had a little too much caffeine.
Melatonin helps me stay and fall asleep, which is bad for me somewhat considering I can easily accidentally sleep 12 hours if my alarm goes off during a deep sleep cycle. But if I had something to help me fall asleep and maybe calm me for a few hours, that'd be ideal.
Maybe I'll try some chamomile.
