    Which is what the researchers quoted in the first part of that article do actually say. - something to do with the removal of neurotoxic waste.
    Interesting - but don't overdo the valerian. There seem to be many warnings about it in this article - https://www.drugs.com/mtm/valerian-root.html
    Is that over-reacting? I don't know.

    Once or twice in the past I had disgusting colds and could hardly breathe. I found that if I had cough medicine PLUS vodka that I went to sleep and felt better. I did this at first without thinking, but then read the instructions. Seems that what I did was a complete No-No, and I shouldn't have done that.

    However, when I felt the same some while later, I repeated the "experiment" with the same effects. I would probably do so again, if I felt it might work. I would however have to feel pretty bad in the first place, and perhaps I'd ask someone else to keep an eye on me in case things got even worse. Though when I "discovered" this the first time I was actually on my own - looking after myself.

    Oops. Like most blokes I don’t read instructions. Perhaps I should.

    Still on a positive note at least strange dreams are a recognised side effect. I seem to already suffer from the other known side effects.. and that’s without taking it.

    No.. it’s easy to be flippant, and one should take care with these things.

    The side effects described on medications are usually a 'catch all' and generally (but not always) read similarly regardless of which type, presumably for liability reasons.

    I occasionally use Tesco 'Sleep Aid', which contains Valerion and find no side effects apart from slight drowsiness after waking in the morning.
    It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

    im on al lot of meds and always have a read as my docs are not perfect... But ive been on the ones im on for a long time and can predict how they affect me, and when etc.
    Its when i get something new, usually temporary but sometimes a change that i have to be wary as docs often dont read the labels either

    Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?

    “Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".

    “You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

    "You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”

    “There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”
