Question 1

Q: How quickly does Sleepy Time work?

Accepted Answer

A: Sleepy Time will relax you so it’s easier to fall asleep. It does not make you fall asleep, but it does encourage your body to become relaxed and more able to fall asleep naturally. If you are using this to encourage sleep in your children, please understand that this will not "knock them out." It will simply encourage relaxation in their bodies to promote restful sleep. The more consistently this tincture is taken, the more support it will offer you.

Question 2

Q: Does Sleepy Time contain melatonin?

Accepted Answer

A: No, Sleepy Time DOES NOT contain melatonin. We suggest reading our guide for more information on why we do not recommend using synthetic melatonin for sleep. Please understand that this will not make a person instantly drowsy. It will simply encourage relaxation in their body to promote a restful sleep.

Question 3

Q: I gave Sleepy Time to my child and now they are really hyper, what’s happening?

Accepted Answer

A: Approximately 10% of the population finds catnip to cause their systems to be excited rather than calmed (it is often the same group that finds caffeine to be relaxing instead of energizing). If you are worried that this might be you or your children, give a few drops in the morning and see how they respond. If they are not overly excited, they are probably not "energetically" reactive to catnip, and it will be calming for them.

Question 4

Q: Wait? Catnip? Isn’t that for cats?

Accepted Answer

A: Nope! Catnip isn't just for cats! Cat's silly reaction is due to a genetic sensitivity to catnip that produces an exciting response (in most cats). In humans, catnip has the complete opposite effect (usually). Catnip is calming and soothing for most humans. About 10% of the human population has a genetic disposition that makes catnip "exciting" instead of calming, though. These are generally the same people who find caffeine has no effect on them or makes them sleepy.

Question 5

Q: How do I take this? Can I mix this with juice or a smoothie?

Accepted Answer

A: All of our tinctures can be taken sublingually (under the tongue), orally, or in juice, water, smoothies, applesauce, etc. -- except for Digest-Support, which must be taken alone with as little water as possible 20 minutes before a meal. If giving multiples, they can be mixed together in a cup -- except for Digest-Support, which must be taken alone with as little water as possible 20 minutes before a meal. Be sure not to let the dropper touch the mouth as this can cause contamination. When taking yourself, drop from above your mouth under your tongue. When giving to someone else, ask them to open their mouth and lean their head back so you can drop it in.
