I've discovered lavender tea... (yes, it is edible -- it's in the mint family). I steep the dried flowers as I would an herbal tea, and let it get strong. I let it cool to just warm, strain out the flowers, and stir in a liberal amount of powdered milk (so it's basically warm milk flavored with lavender), and a little light brown sugar, and I find I get drowsy immediately... but I make myself stay awake for a little while, so I don't have to wake myself out of a sound sleep to pee, so a good book (not a murder mystery! Maybe an anthology of poetry) and soothing music would be a good follow-up.

It not only makes me drowsy, but it calms me -- makes it easier to say: "yeah, yeah!" to that voice chanting worries in my head.
