Em, hello.
I've been a fan of Knightmare for many years (I was 3 when I started watching I think) I was always scared of the Pookas for some reason so, Knightmare was responsible for my childhood Knightmares! ;D
Anyway, I'm a student studying Herbal Medicine in Edinburgh. with a boyfriend and brother who are also big fans of Knightmare.
If I think of anything else I'll stick the info in my profile or waffle about it on the forum. :D

Hiya. How do you do? Hope you enjoy your time with us - the friendliest community you'll find.
Hehe, I nearly ended up at Edinburgh University this year; in fact, went up to look around in March. Was really disappointed that the Uni didn't reply to my polite askings for a short appointment with someone from the English department if I could travel up from Sunderland. Still, ended up at Bristol, and whatever I feel day to day at the moment, deep down know I'm really happy here.
Herbal medicine. In all seriousness, have you any recommendations for sleeping remedies - struggling at the moment - or is that nothing to do with your line of study? If not, no worries at all. Anyhow, have fun - and anything you ever need, just message one of us, or e-mail someone who has their address listed. See you about! KaM

if you mean herbalist remedies, chamomile is generally considered a good start... any herb with a sedative effect - passionflower, hops, skullcap (but they are more difficult to aquire and slightly more difficult to prepare)
cannabis will work, but i didn't say that.
technically, chamomile is used more when pain is the cause of insomnia, but it's the best start. put it in a bath before bed or make tea using it.
if it's depression/stress, try st john's wort (or porridge made with real oats of all things). they should be easily aquirable.
all unofficial advice, seek a doctor if you have a medical condition, suitable disclaimery things etc
you could have asked me...

Who says she's a drug addict? It's common knowledge that cannibis is a sedative. Most people (and also most people's parents when you put it into perspective) have tried weed at least once. Personally I haven't, but there's enough knowledge going around to know what it does.All the other herbs Resque mentioned are the kind of things that your gran grows in her back garden.

I did, and it doesn't. It says 'sugar coated arsenic', which is proof of wit and eloquence, but not of drug addiction. Plus, you only need to be a passive smoker (something which is hard to avoid at university) to discover that cannabis helps you sleep.
(For more details, see the cleverly-made Simpsons episode 'Weekend At Burnsies', where Homer is prescribed cannabis for medicinal purposes.)
