What herbs help with stress and sleep?
I’ve been feeling really wired at night and have trouble falling asleep. Are there safe herbs that can help calm the nervous system without making me groggy in the morning?

Chamomile and passionflower are gentle nervines that help wind down the nervous system. I make a tea blend of chamomile, lemon balm, and a little lavender about an hour before bed. It works for me without the morning fog.

For sleep support, I often start with calming nervines like passionflower, lemon balm, and skullcap. They’re non-habit-forming and unlikely to cause morning grogginess. Pairing them with a magnesium glycinate supplement and a consistent wind-down routine tends to give the best results. If sleep issues persist, it’s worth checking cortisol rhythm and thyroid function.
