For 25 years, I slept about 4 hours each night, not by choice. I tried everything from CBT to drinking warm milk. Nothing worked for me. Sleeping medications result in a sleep-like unconsciousness and therefore deprive a person of REM sleep, so I don’t think they are a solution. Recently I started taking Ashwagandha tea, two cups before 3 pm. Because nothing has ever helped me to sleep, I am shocked to say that this tea works! No other tea (Sleepy Time, Chamomile, etc.) does anything for me.

Sounds good to me - wish I could try it but drug info says physician should OK it's use if one has high blood pressure, irregular cardiac rhythm, etc. That lets me out. I fall asleep easily but wake up about every 3 hours and don't fall asleep as easily when I first go to bed. Tried sleeping hour changes, different 'sleepy' time drinks and foods - 0 help. I can live with it but don't feel like my old self. Fatigue and lassitude throughout the day. I'm glad it works for you. I will pass the info on to others that I know could use it and they don't have the health issues that I do.
