Natural sleep aids.

Although this Healthline article mentions ancient use of fennel as a sleep aid I have not managed to find any such ancient references. Does anyone know of any? European herbal pharmacopeia that I have consulted do not link fennel and insomnia. But if it was something known in ancient times there must be some acknowledgement somewhere in later literature.

@eden, I did find a page on a botanical site that acknowledges the use of fennel and provides a little background history including a few rhymes or poems, including one by Longfellow.
