    Interesting experience.

    Took 2 grams of hops pills for a sleep aid last night and no alcohol of any sort.

    Woke up with an honest to god hangover.

    Anyone else experience this?

    I never heard of hops pills so have no clue, if I had to guess I would think maybe your body reacted to them in a bad way and you just feel bad. Hops helps you sleep?

    I googled "hops as sleep aid." It would appear that hops extract is commonly used as a sedative, in combination with other things (e.g. valerian root). It would also appear that herbal sleep aids can have side effects that mimic a hangover. I think I may try this some time. What could possibly go wrong?

    Totally thought so too, was pretty interested to see what people had to say. Nevertheless, what are hop pills and what do they do?

    Just drink a couple DIPAs right before bed, the combination of Ethanol and Hops will put you right out!

    Hops has long been known for helping sleep. Hops pillows have been around for a while and are easily available for purchase.

    And then will wake you up a few hours later and you won't be able to get back to sleep. :wink:

    The hoppier beers seem to jack me up worse than any other style so I can only drink them in moderation. Hell I drink every style in moderation anymore but IPAs seem to effect me the worst so I need to be careful with them.
