This tea works so well when you need extra hours or just time to sleep in. My favorite thing about this tea is that it was also my cat's favorite tea! I say this jokingly of course because it's got catnip in it and without fail would always come to my lap and cuddle. She unfortunately passed on, but made sure to bury her with some of this tea, and will continue to be a favorite of mine because of it

I use this tea right before bed every night and experience the most wonderful sense of well being, deep sleep and even vivid dreams. Of course, it's still important to stay away from caffeine if you are a troubled sleeper, but I have to say this is the best combination of tea for sleep and anxiety. I love it so much. Thanks to the NM Tea Company for making it. ??

Recently I've been having a hard time, both falling asleep and staying asleep all night. I got this tea in yesterday and immediately gave it a try last night. I was pretty relaxed and drowsy about an hour after drinking a cup, and when I dropped into bed I fell right asleep and didn't wake once during the night. It's the best night's sleep I've had in some time with no morning aftereffects. I'm already a hug fan of NM Tea Co, and this blend is a real herbal superstar.

I suffer with insomnia. I will go to sleep and wake up about 2, 3 or 4 in the am. Then after trying everything to get back to sleep, when I do, it's time for me to wake up. Needless to say that I am tired all of the imd because of it. I received this tea as a sampler with my last order. I drink a cup just about every night and not only do I go to sleep but I stay sleep throughout the night. This tea does not put you to sleep but it does help with your body relaxing enough to stay sleep and it's light so it doesn't need a lot of sweetener.

I ordered this tea to help me get a deeper sleep. I tried it the night I got it and slept amazingly. Now I drink it whenever I have a bad day to help with anxiety and whenever I need a deeper sleep. Works great for both. I get sleepy and relaxed and fall asleep almost immediately after drinking it. Definitely going to keep ordering this.

Does what it is supposed to. Not so much a "knock you out" tea as a "Wow, I slept better." tea. Pleasant yellow - green cup. Complex flavor - a little tiny bit of a pleasant "medicine" aftertaste. Smells great - easy to drink and works well. A great sleep aid.

Yumm :) I love this tea with a little bit of agave and almond milk. I wouldn't say that it makes me sleepy but once I fall asleep I stay in a really deep sleep all night.

This tea works like whoa. I've tried valerian in capsule form before and it didn't help me get sleepy, just made me feel weird and dissociated. But pretty much immediately after I drink a cup of this tea my eyes get heavy and I get that pleasant sleepy feeling I remember as a child, and within an hour all I want to do is drift off to sleep. Not only that, the sleep I get is crazy deep and I wake up feeling very refreshed. If you have a hard time sleeping, this might be just what you need. It definitely is for me; I won't be without it.

I ran out of a different "Sleep Tea" from another company.....thankfully so after I received this amazing "Extra Sleepy Bear". There is no comparison. The scent is beautiful and strong, the taste is wonderful and the effects work every time. Not to mention the extremely quick shipping! I'm a fan of New Mexico Tea Company!

Extra Sleepy Bear is my most favorite tea. I drink it every morning actually to help start my day in a relaxed state of mind. It creates the perfect state of relaxation. It also has a really good taste, just the perfect amount of sweetness and flavor. I love this tea and I am so happy I found it through the NM tea co.

A blind buy of a pound. Shipping was quick. Price was right. Quality of tea blend was high. Naturally sweet in just the right amounts. Smells beautiful when dry in my jar, as well as brewed. Looks pretty. Love love love the way it smells actually. It works. I doubted that it would have any effect on me, but it actually works. When I finally do fall asleep, I sleep well and wake up rested.

I have a sleep disorder, so a restful night has been a struggle for many years. The two times I tried taking valerian capsules, I lay awake the entire night and didn't sleep at all. A friend had me try the Extra Sleepy Bear, and when I saw it contains valerian, I was expecting the worst. Thankfully, I was wrong because I had a good night. I love the taste and pleasant sweetness. I placed an order for more and have continued drinking it in the evening. Excellent tea!

I bought htis tea to help me sleep thru the night, but the valarium root is very strong and overwhelming. Unforunately it didn't help my sleep either. Im not a fan of valarium and actually gag when my husband takes the pills so I was not a fan of this tea. Hopefully others like it better.
