    Sleep Welle Calming Tea

    Our verdict

    Expensive for a herbal tea, and the active doses in a cup are modest. Where it earns its keep is as a wind-down ritual, which does more for sleep onset than most people expect.

    Pros

    • +Caffeine free
    • +Valerian and lemon balm are well tolerated
    • +Useful as a wind-down cue

    Cons

    • -Costly per cup
    • -Doses lower than capsule forms
    • -Loose leaf needs an infuser

    Evidence

    Valerian and lemon balm have modest trial evidence for sleep onset. A consistent pre-sleep routine has stronger evidence than the herbs themselves.

    Dose

    One cup 30 to 60 minutes before bed

    Best for

    • · Trouble winding down
    • · Replacing an evening drink
    • · Anyone avoiding sleep medication

    Not for
