This beats even pharmaceuticals. Here are the ingredients. From what I’ve read, the Valerian Root Extract is probably the most potent ingredient, but whatever the case, IT WORKS!

I usually love The Onion, but this article, Autistic Child Ruins Marriage He Was Born To Save, is a) just mean, b) full of sterotypes, and c) not funny. I’ve HAD BEEN a fan of The Onion for years and it’s sad to see that they are so mean-spirited and not funny.
