why would you do 10 grams? make an extract strong enough to fit in one pill or get some really potent Malayans kratom and one down one tablespoon. but this stuff can really be addictive. might as well be doing 40-60 mg of hydrocodone every night to get to sleep ahahha.

St. Johnswort is ok if it's a mild sleep aid you're in need of.

Chamomile helps me to relax and skullcap can be good as a slight sedative for sleep.
casgoodie, did you mean passion flower?
On a sidenote, I sure miss my vivid dream-life, I haven't remembered a full dream for months it seems. It's probably due to all the pot I smoke every day (and I love smoking before bed sometimes too).
Any heavy pot smokers here, have lots of vivid dreams and remember them in great detail?

I don't think anyone mentoned Tagetes Lucida, catnip, melissa officinalis. I think most members of the mint family have some sort of purported sleep-inducing/calming effects. Kava Kava is probably the best for me. Alcohol too.
There's also GABA, which technically is natural although a chemical. Just for the sake of mentioning, I hear Phenibut is pretty effective. Theres also GABOB, which I've just recently started reading about. IME, GABA is fairly effective. It depends on how awake you are.
I find it interesting that many of you mentioned kratom though because that inevitably keeps me up, sometimes into the afternoon.

No, it's been proven time and time again that moderate-heavy cannabis use causes you not to dream.

Hmm...really?
There has been alot of threads where everybody says that smoking causes them not to dream...
I'll do a poll in the P.E. and we'll find out.

It seems a lot of heavy pot smokers don't remember dreams, so you're right. Of course there are exceptions though!

I forgot to add THP. I'm not sure about corydalis extract, but pure THP actually blows anything I have tried away. However, it usually i sso effective that you fell groggy the next day IME.

I work in sleep disorders, using polysomnography to read brainwaves for sleep staging.
REM sleep still occurs when smoking pot. Thats the dream stage. Whether you remember them or not is different, you are still dreaming, just not remembering it.
If you don't have REM, you go crazy FAST! The brain needs it.

Well...you take dried hops flowers...
And you shake them through a strainer...
Collect the powder and rub it between your hands, or bake it like hash.
When it comes out, you have a substance much like hash, which will make you very sleepy if you smoke it.
