The verdict
Valerian, or no valerian.
Yogi Bedtime leans on valerian and skullcap — actual sleep-pushing herbs, slightly funky aroma some people don't love. Celestial Sleepytime is chamomile-forward with spearmint and orange — gentler, sweeter, the cup you actually want to drink even if you're not sleepy. Yogi works harder. Sleepytime is easier to look forward to.
Pick Yogi Bedtime if
You want the cup to do real work. Insomnia. Mid-flight wake-ups.
Pick Celestial Seasonings if
You want a warm comforting evening cup that nudges you to bed.
