Lifelong insomniac here, and my first cup of this took the edge off and helped me mellow out. Will be ordering more.
One cup before bed makes for an ideal way to unwind and lull yourself into a deep slumber.

This tea is now my night time favorite. Coupled with 'day dream' I am totally relaxed.
One of my favorite bedtime teas. Would recommend for anyone looking for a nightcap.
Love this tea. It tastes great. I feel it helps me stay asleep.
I slept better last night then I have in ages. What was the difference? A cup of 40 Winks before bed. I will be ordering more of this when my sample runs out for sure!
This is a lovely minty tea. Very relaxing at the end of the day.
Nice and relaxing. There is something off scent wise but it isn't enough to stop me from drinking it. Helps me wind down after a long day.
The chamomile is strong in this tea, but there's a lot of bitterness after that first bloom of Chamomile. Also, didn't make me sleepy, relaxed, etc.
for me not an everyday tea, the smell and the tea are equally the same, i drank it during the day so i don't know about the making you sleep, so i will have to try in an evening and see
Works as advertised - slept all night straight the first time I took this - nice tasting too
I really enjoyed this mellow tea to relax with before bedtime.
Too much going on here. Too floral/minty. Very, very minty.
Worked like a charm! Made an extra strong cup one night after a few rough nights of sleep and slept like a log for half a day.
This tea smells dreamy! Even my cat enjoyed its aroma! Has a nice taste and you definitely feel it’s relaxing effects quickly! Recommend drinking a few hours before bed, because this stuff works!
Drank this tea twice and so far so good. Will have to test it out more both days I drank this tea I was pretty exhausted.
As a long-time sufferer of periodic insomnia, I ordered this as soon as I saw it. I wasn't prepared, however, for it to be genuinely tasty. There was very little aroma when I opened the bag, and I prepared myself for a flavor that was utilitarian at best; however, once brewed, it became sweet and minty, both surprising and relaxing. Even better yet, it did seem to help me sleep, but that's an experiment that should be repeated many more times to confirm my initial results. Well, shucks, I guess I have to order more tea! :-P
I was pleasantly surprised by this. I'm not usually a fan of chamomile, but this was kind of lemony and definitely helped me get to sleep earlier.
I absolutely love this blend! It's light and soothing.
Very tasty tea! I drank two cups before bed and it helped put me in a significantly more relaxed mental and physical state
Not sure if it helps to sleep, but it tastes good, especially with a little honey.
This smells divine! It also tastes a little like the Sleepy Time tea I used to have when I was younger. It is perfect with a hot bath and a good book.
Good flavor, I could mostly taste the valerian and mint and missed some of the other background flavors, but it was a worthwhile sleepytime tea.
This is a very mild, relaxing tea that still has a fun array of flavors. I find the most prevalent flavor is definitely chamomile, and it has hints of mint and lemon balm in the background though milder than most bedtime teas. I usually enjoy more floral teas, and this tea satisfied my floral taste while still incorporating other flavors that make it not taste like just a floral tea. I find it can be re-steeped about 3 times before it looses much of its potency.
Slight taste and good smell. Puts you in a calming mood but I think the root in this tea is pretty potent. My limbs tend to go a little numb.
My favorite nighttime herbal tea! It is the best blend I've ever tasted for 'sleepy teas'. I brew mine on the strong side and let it steep the full 10 minutes. It smells wonderful and I like the little dash of mint. This is my go-to tea for after dark. I ordered a sample and I am now ordering a larger package. Great job with this one, Adagio!
Honestly, just smelling this luxurious nighttime tea makes me sleepy. I love it with a ginger snap before bed.
This is great for winding down and readying yourself to bed down for the night. It has a different flavour, I think it's the valerian.
Great flavor and I love how hypnotic this tea is. Gently Luis me to sleep, I have a cup every night!
I need to start ordering this one on a regular basis. I was originally just drinking chamomile or those sleepy time teas from celestial before trying 40 winks. I always sleep better when I have drunk a cup of 40 winks before going to bed.
This tea is a godsend! Period. Yes the valerian root tastes weird and you can t help but notice it, but I quickly got used to it thanks to the other flavors in the tea as well as the fantastic effect it had on me. I ve battled insomnia all my life. I ve had bad experiences with Rx sleep meds (sleepwalking, sleepeating, etc.) and decided on a more natural, herbal approach. I researched the ingredients in this tea and found everything to be conducive to a drug-free approach to relaxation and better sleep. And Valerian is the holy grail! It s gentle calming effects help me relax enough to find sleep and, more importantly, to stay asleep, yet I m not a walking zombie if one of my kids needs me in the middle of the night like with Rx meds. There s absolutely no grogginess the next day, just the blissful feeling of having gotten a good night s sleep. I can t say enough good things about this tea, or recommend it enough. If you ve ever had trouble sleeping, or just want something to help you relax after an especially stressful day, this tea is for you. Now I actually welcome the distinctive taste of valerian root because I know I ll be rewarded with a solid 40 Winks!!
Perfect before bedtime for relaxing...maybe with a good book :)
