Published: 18 June 2008

You will undertake the following tasks:

  • Prepare and drink each of the passionflower tea (listed with the Therapeutic Goods Administration as a herbal medicine in Australia) and the placebo tea for 7 days, with a one week break in between.
  • Fill in a sleep simple diary.
  • Fill in Spielberger's State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI).
  • Have your sleep patterns recorded at the Caulfield sleep lab (Reimbursement: $20 or a taxi voucher) OR your home on two occasions -- optional task.

All materials will be provided.
