You can't expect to correct a long term sleep problem in just a handful of days, your body will have to adjust, but still that's better than before by far!

Maybe you just need to get used to them for a while longer?
I'm not allowed to get any yet! I want contacts! But the Dr. say's my eyes are not yet bad enough! What? Seems if I got contacts to settle the distance problem then I would have to have reading glasses to make up for the upclose vision, so either way! glasses!

Medicinal drinks aren't the sort of things that you take leisurely sips of though I suppose lol, I'd drink it pretty quickly. Adding honey is a good idea too.

I'll remember that the next time I feel like a board slapped me across the face! Which is usually due to happen right about now. Allergies can really lead to nasty sinus infections.

Nope. It's your regular average tea, made pretty much the same way as any other tea. Cinnamon tea is also just as effective in relieving congestion. It's also got a very nice taste to it.
