Q. Do insomnia herbs make you drowsy?

Unlike sleeping pills that artificially induce drowsiness, they calm excessive nervous excitement so you fall asleep naturally.

📝 Detailed Answer

Insomnia herbs reduce heart fire (心火) and supplement kidney yin (腎陰), calming excessive sympathetic excitation. Unlike sleeping pills, they cause no dependence and improve sleep quality (deep sleep) itself. You typically notice changes in sleep pattern after 1–2 weeks of intake.
