30 grams of saffron is almost 70 dollars. The cost itself would give you insomnia.

This is me, I feel like I have high cortisol issues. Just thinking about this can bring tears to my eyes. People who do not have this issue will never know. It is like torture.

Miracle! Was literally lying awake at 3 am, feeling frustrated, when I saw this video. (Yes—I know—blue light). I hopped on Amazon and ordered 60 pills at 28 mg. each, which would last for two months. It was less than $30. Took my first dose about an hour before bed. Went to sleep fairly quickly, woke up one time—a miracle—about 4 am. Went back to sleep fairly quickly. Another miracle. Slept til 8 o’clock and feel great. I’m so excited! Sleep issues have been plaguing me for so long! Thank you Thomas!

Saffron and camomile tea before bed knocks me out cold, and it has been very effective. I suffer from sleep apnea and insomnia as well.

A week ago a coworker shared an Arabic white coffee packet with me. It is green coffee and cardamom and saffron... I had the best sleep I had in a long time. Lasted for about 2 days. and haven't slept well since. Going to go buy some white coffee again for an experiment. I just think it's odd it was that something that has so much caffeine gave me such energy yet I slept like a log.
