Somebody remind me that buying delicious little edible or drinkable somethings from TkMaxx and Homesense is never a good plan when all too often their selection seems to include loveliness I will never have the pleasure of more than once. Tis both a pleasure and a crime. Case in point? Charbrew Sleepy Tea. Now I do believe my sleeping issues are legendary around these parts. Heaven knows I moan about them frequently enough. So when I find something that helps me switch my overactive imagination off I find myself desperate enough to want to stock up with enough to last me in to the new millennium. And so it was with Charbrew Sleepy Tea. For let’s face it, it is so very rare to happen across something that does exactly what it says on the pretty box. But Sleepy Tea works. The first night I was asleep within half an hour of sipping it from my cosy bedtime mug (You haven’t got a bedtime mug? Allocate one today!), and better than that, I stayed asleep all night. All night! This is something that never happens, for three o’clock in the morning and I are bosom buddies. The second night having decided it must have been a fluke, I force-fed it to Ste and both of us slept like contented little logs. This stuff works! It really, really works and now I’m sad. Because we are nearing the end of the box and I cannot buy another because it is all sold out on Charbrew and as far as I can tell unavailable everywhere else on the planet. Heckity pie, me and my first-world problems. But anyway, this is a plea for help, so should you find yourself bimbling around TkMaxx or the ever rewarding delight that is HomeSense and you happen across a box or six of Charbrew Sleepy Tea, do think of me won’t you? Sleeping well rather becomes me.

Is it possible the Sleepy Tea has the same ingredients as their Bedtime tea? Perhaps it was just renamed? I saw the Bedtime tea on Amazon. What are the ingredients? Perhaps you could blend your own. I find that teas with passionflower leaves help me sleep best.
Oooh Jill thatdoes sound like a possibility: I will look into it straight away! Sometimes I am completely oblivious to the obvious. And yes… I think you are also right about blending my own too: why didn’t I think of that? Thank-you!x
The bedtime tea has less ingredients. It’s missing lavender and sleepy tea also says lime tree leaves flower, not lime tree cut, whatever that means… I can’t find sleepy tea anywhere!
