Made by Celestial Seasonings (which is part of the conglomerate Hain Celestial Group), Sleepytime Tea is the company's best seller and has contributed vastly to this year's approximately $750.

1. About Sleepytime My name is Rebecca and I’m a certified Sleep Sense™ Consultant. I’ve also studied as an Anaesthesia Associate at PostGraduate level and worked within the NHS and Healthcare Industry for my entire working career. Helping and caring for other people is what I enjoy and do best.

Sleepytime tea is herbal tea prepared by Celestial Seasonings, containing chamomile, spearmint, lemongrass, tilia flowers, blackberry leaves, orange blossoms, hawthorn, and rosebuds.

Despite its natural origins, Sleepytime tea has side effects, which may come as a surprise to some.

But then, just because a product is naturally derived doesn’t mean it won’t have unexpected side effects in similar ways to over-the-counter and prescribed medicinal products made from chemicals.

Here’s an example. Chamomile is touted as an excellent herb for helping people sleep because it calms the nervous system, but what many don’t know is that chamomile can cause allergic reactions in those who suffer from a ragweed and/or daisy allergy.

These plants all belong to the same family, Asteraceae, and there is a risk of cross-reactivity.

How long does Sleepytime tea take to work? This depends on the person, but the normal expected time would be within 15 to 30 minutes.

Does Sleepytime Tea Actually Help You Fall Asleep?

Does Sleepytime tea work? Well, yes and no, and the answer depends on the individual. Not every herb in the tea will make every person equally drowsy after drinking it, and it isn’t fair to expect as much.

How long does Sleepytime tea take to work? Again, this depends on the person, but the normal expected time would be within 15 to 30 minutes. Here’s a little more on some specific ingredients of Sleepytime tea:

• The primary active ingredient in Sleepytime is chamomile. It’s been used to help calm the nervous system since antiquity.
• Another ingredient is tilia flowers, which can have a tranquilizing effect on the nervous system.
• The combination of chamomile and tilia flowers should induce calm and drowsiness, but try it for yourself and see. Perhaps you might take better to herbal concoction with valerian and passionflower in it, two other herbs with soporific effects.

Possible Side Effects of Sleepytime Tea

Sleepyti Me Bedtime Calculator

As with anything, there is a chance that a person could experience side effects from drinking this herbal tea. We’ve already mentioned the potential for cross-reactivity to chamomile in those with allergies to ragweed (even though this is rare). Below are a few other possible side effects.

1. A Reaction to Tilia Flowers

There is some speculation in the medical community that these flowers can cause cardiac damage when used frequently and long-term, though this is rare.

2. A Reaction to Blackberry Leaves

Blackberry leaves are high in tannins, which can cause an upset stomach or even vomiting. If you have a sensitive stomach, don’t take the tea on an empty belly but rather with a light snack.

3. A Drop in Blood Pressure and Blood Sugar Level

Mint may lower blood pressure and blood sugar level, so talk to your doctor before taking this tea if you’re a diabetic and/or have blood pressure concerns.

4. Sleepytime Tea and Pregnancy

When pregnant you have to be very careful about what you ingest, especially when it comes to herbs. It’s best to discuss with your doctor which herbs are safe to take during pregnancy, and see if the ones in this tea are OK at these doses.

Other Natural Ways that May Help You Fall Asleep Faster

• If you’re having trouble sleeping, rather than lying there tossing and turning, you should get out of bed for 15 to 30 minutes and do something quietly. Then try to go back to sleep.
• Take a warm bath. The heat will help relax you.
• Drink a glass of warm milk.
• Do some exercise earlier in the day as it will help you sleep better at night, but give your body time to wind down and don’t exercise too close to bedtime.
• Meditate in the evening to help unwind.
• Try some breathing techniques to help you sleep.

Other Possible Sleepytime Tea Side Effects

Some people have reported having Sleepytime tea nightmares, but there are many possible causes for nightmares, so it’s difficult to ascertain whether the nightmares came from the tea or something else.

Another, stronger, brand of bedtime tea produced by Celestial Seasonings is Sleepytime Extra Tea, and its side effects are no different from the regular Sleepytime tea, except for the addition of valerian, a powerful sedative.

Speak to your doctor before drinking this tea, especially if you are taking medications that might be contraindicated.

Sleepytime (foaled 20 February 1994) is an Irish-bred, British-trained Thoroughbred racehorse. In a racing career which lasted from September 1996 to April 1998 she ran six times and won two races. In two races as a two-year-old she won one race, and finished third in the Group OneFillies' Mile at Ascot. On her three-year-old debut she was beaten in the Fred Darling Stakes at Newbury but then won the Classic1000 Guineas at Newmarket Racecourse. On her only subsequent appearance that year she finished third in the Coronation Stakes. After one unsuccessful run in 1998 she was retired from racing to become a successful broodmare.

Background[edit]

Sleepytime, a dark-coated bay filly with a white star,^[1] was bred by Charles H. Wacker III and raced in the colours of Wacker's Greenbay Stables. As a two-year-old, Sleepytime was described as having a dragster-like physique, with a 'slender, delicate front' and 'hugely powerful' hind quarters.^[2]

Her sire, Royal Academy won the July Cup at Newmarket and the Breeders' Cup Mile in 1990. At stud, his best winners have included the double Irish St. Leger winner Oscar Schindler and the Hong Kong champion Bullish Luck.^[3] Sleepytime's dam, Alidiva, who was probably the best horse sired by Chief Singer, won at Listed level and was a half-sister to the Prix d'Ispahan winner Croco Rouge. In addition to Sleepytime produced the Group One winners Taipan (Preis von Europa, Premio Roma) and Ali-Royal (Sussex Stakes). As a descendant of the broodmare Bourtai, Sleepytime and Alidiva came from the same branch of Thoroughbred family 9-f which produced Big Spruce and Coastal.^[4]

Sleepytime was trained by Henry Cecil at his Warren Place stables at Newmarket, Suffolk and was ridden in four of her six races by Kieren Fallon.

Racing career[edit]

Sleepytime made her racecourse debut in a seven furlongmaiden race at Sandown Park in September. Her reputation had already been established by her performances in training^[5] and she started at odds of 30/100 against fourteen opponents. Ridden by the veteran Pat Eddery, Sleepytime took the lead two furlongs from the finish and drew away to win by five lengths in what the Racing Post described as a 'very impressive' victory.^[6] Eleven days later, Sleepytime was moved directly into Group One class for the Fillies' Mile at Ascot and started 6/4 favourite. Sleepytime finished third to her stable companion Reams of Verse after being unable to obtain space for a clear run in the straight.^[7] Reams of Verse went on to win The Oaks in 1997.

In early 1997, Sleepytime was a clear favourite for the 1000 Guineas, after avoiding the respiratory infection which had affected many horses in Cecil's stables.^[8] Her training gallops had been highly impressive, making her the choice on many Newmarket experts and insiders.^[9] On 18 April, Sleepytime started 4/7 favourite for her first appearance as a three-year-old in the Fred Darling Stakes, a trial for the Guineas. The race produced an upset, with Sleepytime, ridden for the first time by Kieren Fallon, finishing fourth behind the 16/1 outsider Dance Parade. Two weeks later, Sleepytime was one of fifteen runners for the 1000 Guineas over Newmarket's Rowley Mile course. She started at odds of 5/1, the third choice in the betting behind Pas de Reponse the European champion two-year-old filly of 1996, and the Godolphin challenger Moonlight Paradise. Fallon restrained the filly in the early stages before moving forward three furlongs from the finish. After briefly looking unlikely to find space for a clear run, Fallon sent Sleepytime through a gap to take the lead inside the final furlong.^[9] The filly accelerated clear of the field to win by four lengths from Oh Nellie and Dazzle.^[10] After the race, Cecil, who was winning the classic for a fifth time, said that 'Everything has gone against her but we know how good she is and she proved it today'.^[9] He also expressed the view that while Sleepytime was likely to improve further, she would not stay beyond a mile and a quarter.^[11] In June, Sleepytime started 5/6 favourite for the Group One Coronation Stakes, in which her rivals included the Irish 1,000 Guineas winner Classic Park. After travelling well for much of the race she failed to quicken in the closing stages and finished third to the 25/1 outsider Rebecca Sharp. Sleepytime did not run again in 1997. Fallon reportedly felt that the ground had been too firm for the filly to show her best form.^[12]

Sleepytime remained in training as a four-year-old and reappeared in April at Newmarket in the Earl of Sefton Stakes. Racing against colts for the first time she was made 5/6 favourite but weakened badly in the closing stages and finished tailed-off last of the seven runners.^[13] Sleepytime returned from the race with injuries to her rear fetlocks and was retired from racing.^[14]

Assessment[edit]

In their book, A Century of Champions, based on the Timeform rating system, John Randall and Tony Morris rated Sleepytime an 'average' winner of the 1000 Guineas.^[15]

Stud record[edit]

Sleepytime became a broodmare for Charles H. Wacker's breeding operation. She has produced several winners^[16] including Gentleman's Deal, a colt sired by Danehill, who won nine races including the Winter Derby in 2007.^[17]
