Is Dandelion tea good for sleep?

I think dandelion tea is a very relaxing and soothing type of tea. I would definitely check to make sure that it does not have any caffeine in it so you do not stay up all night. It is most commonly known for it's healing properties. Often times for tea instead of the leaves people will use the roots because they have lots of flavor in them. I would suggest just a little sugar (very little) since the dandelion is naturally a little bitter.
