Hello all, new to the sleep disorder forum. I recently have stopped drinking alcohol before going to bed (totally sober with no buzz or nothing) and was having a lot of difficulty falling asleep. I started taking Valerian at the suggested dosage of 3 capsules 1 hour before bedtime. It sort of works but still takes over an hour to sleep after I lye down. Can I take 4 or 5 capsules? Can that be dangerous? Is there another supplement I can take that might work better? I prefer to stay away from sleep aids from the drug store or even products like Ambion CR as I'm worried I would get hooked on them or abuse them. Please help as I'm beginning to dread going to bed.
