All sleep deprivation Q&A

I take one teaspoon of Ashwagandha daily and still have difficulty falling asleep. What should I do?

Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. I understand your concern. The amount of Ashwagandha you are using now is enough. But you should mix it in medium hot cow's milk and drink it at bedtime.
