I've learned that valerian roots may work, but they also may be mildly addictive. So anything else other than essential oils?

Valerian root is great and have never heard of anyone becomng addicted. Skullcap is another herb and so is chamomile. There are oils made from all these herbs but are really good in a tea. Passion flower is good also.
