Big help for a deeper sleep

I was first introduced to valerian root to treat my 80-pound dog who suffers from extreme anxiety when we go on car rides and tries to climb under my legs while I'm driving. But then I realized I could benefit from taking it, too. I have a lot of stress, tension headaches, muscle spasms, anxiety, am a very light sleeper and I can't take prescription medications because of my job as a heavy machine operator. So I tried one capsule of valerian root before bed and felt like a million bucks in the morning! I felt sooooo rested is the best way I can describe it. I didn't feel groggy at all the next day. I have taken lorazepam in the past and valerian root doesn't give me the same noticeable calming effect, but rather it's more subtle. I took one capsule of valerian root one night when I started getting muscle spasms in my neck and shoulders and started getting a tension headache. After about an hour I realized my headache was gone. I'm not sure if that was a coincidence so I will keep treating any headaches I get and see if this continues. I gave one to my dog just before a 3.5 hour car trip and she did great. She stayed in the backseat the whole time and I could tell she was more calm and tired, closing her eyes several times and laying her head down. Once we got home she slept great. I will try this for a thunderstorm which she also has anxiety from and see if it helps her for that, too. Yes, the capsules smell like dirty gym socks. But if I take one out of the bottle and let it sit on the counter for a few minutes, the smell dissipates and the smell becomes less noticeable. And really, if these continue to help me the way they do, I could care less how it smells I will take them anyway. I wish there was more research on long-term usage because I can see myself taking these for a long time. I definitely recommend trying these if you think they can help you. I read several articles that what works for some may not work for others but it's worth a try!

Does what it’s supposed to. Easy to take and seems like good quality. No complaints.

First Dose Report - It did not help with fast ability to sleep. Took the pills at 9PM and was stii awake at midnight. However, I did seem to feel less anxious upon waking the next morning. Mind was peaceful. I'll keep trying them. I also bought another product with different nutrients. L-Theanine is the main ingredient. Using all these nature found products to avoid serious drug medications like Xanax, etc. You can't drink alcohol with those and I like one drink or one beer with dinner. I have a stigma when it comes to these drugs. One draweback for this item is dry mouth big time. Follow Up: OK the Verdict is in for me. It was a mood changer for me, but I have one major reservation. Two capsules are 2400 mg. The web searches say up to 600 mg is the recommended dosage. I called the company and they don't have a clue as to how they arrived at that dosage. Customer service was no help. So I say start with one and see how you feel. Now I did not have any adverse effects at all. I don't take the daily. As a matter of fact I stopped after a month. I used another technique to deal with anxiety. It's two shots of cold vodka from the freezer with two olives. And mind control! How you think is how you feel.
