    For a herbal wind-down, chamomile is the best-evidenced starting point — Pukka Three Chamomile and Clipper Sleep Easy are our highest-rated UK teas. Valerian tincture is the stronger option for people who wake in the night, and lavender oil on a diffuser or pillow is the most-studied aroma for faster sleep onset.

    Frequently asked questions

    Does chamomile tea really work?

    Modest but real: it lowers arousal and, just as importantly, becomes a repeated cue that tells your body sleep is coming.

    Is valerian safe to take nightly?

    Generally well tolerated short-term, but it can interact with sedatives and alcohol, so check with a pharmacist first.

    When should I drink a sleep tea?

    60–90 minutes before bed, so you are not up for the bathroom just as you fall asleep.
