Don't you find drinking tea before bed disrupts any sleep you might get as you inevitably have to wake to relieve your bladder? I hadn't previously considered the link between chamomile and ragweed when it comes to allergies - thanks for bringing this to my (and our readers') attention.

Yes, it relaxes my body, and helps with the really tough insomnia bouts. Unfortunately, it's the same plant family as Ragweed, which is my primary seasonal allergy trigger. The chamomile puts me to sleep, but something about my body's reaction to it invariably causes me horrible, actively violent and disturbing dreams. It becomes a careful deliberation at night: am I so tired that I'm willing to risk the dreams that are coming with the cure? I’ve found Chamomile tea to be a double-edged sword.
