Does Intake Of Passionflower Extract Help In Improving An Individual S Sleep?

Yes, thank you, I have difficulty falling to sleep and once I do fall asleep I am easily awakened. I do not want to be prescribed prescription medication and have done some self research on the effectiveness of the passionflower in regard to sleep benefits...... my question is, does this contribute to better sleep and how long does it take to see the benefits? I selected a method of a liquid extract supplement today stating to use 1 full bulb to 2oz of water 2 to 5 times a day. Is this going to aid in my sleep difficulty??
