Data are presented as mean (standard deviation). Wake after sleep onset = WASO

Wilcoxon signed-ranks, two-sided, were used to evaluate the primary outcome valerian versus placebo, all p > .05

Sleep laboratory nights: baseline = mean of Night 1 and Night 2, single night = Night 3/31 only, two-week dose = mean of the last two dosing nights (Nights 15 & 16/Nights 43 & 44). Home nights: baseline = mean of last five screening nights, first week = mean of the first five home nights (Nights 4-8/Nights 32-36), and second week = mean of the last five home nights (Nights 10-14/Nights 38-42).
