St. John's Wort is a tranquilizing herb, and it should help you winding down and sleeping properly. However it is a strong herb and can cause exactly the opposite which would be depression.
You need to be careful with its usage, especially if you're on prescription medication. It's best to either consult a health practitioner or ask a pharmacist.

St. Johns Wort (Rhymes with shirt) (Hypericum Perforatum) is used as an anti-depressent. It stimulates serotonin levels in the brain. Consult a qualified Herbalist, such as myself BEFORE you start taking it.
