When it started to happen every night it was torture. Sleep has always been my saving grace! lol
I took St John's Wort (among other things) but I really did sense that St J W helped me tremendously to get a little more natural sleep -although it is NOT listed as a "sedative" at all. I felt it re-balanced me and I was extremely grateful.
There are some contra-indications with St J W so please do get advice or do some research. One effect is that it can make the skin very sensitive to sunlight. And of course it may not combine safely with other medications.

Thanks for your input :) That's interesting, actually, because my sleep's been disturbed for a while now (been experiencing ever-more energy recently, I don't generally feel tired but it's still a little annoying waking up between 4 and 5 every morning), and it hasn't helped in that respect, thus far. Glad it did the trick for you though :)

I use an inhaler but the pharmacist said that shouldn't be a problem. I've been taking SJW for a couple of days now and I do think it's helped a little, though I do also wonder if it's the placebo effect; I'll keep taking it, though, see how I get on with it.
