Whilst you are asleep, your body regenerates, relaxing and resting muscles and tissues, topping up on nutrients, getting rid of waste. When you don't get enough sleep the muscles aren't restored from the labours of the previous day, and it seems that poor sleep quality increases the perception of discomfort in the muscles and joints.

Popular sleeping remedies include avoiding coffee and tea, drinking camomile tea, and taking valerian at night to relax.
Relieve Stress
Valerian has been used for many years to reduce tension and help relieve insomnia. It has been found to have a relaxant effect on the muscles and helps to calm the central nervous system. This will help to reduce tension and an 'over-active' mind.
Alleviate anxiety and tension.
Valerian works as a natural calming and relaxing remedy and is not associated with any side effects such as poor co-ordination or habit formation.
