Kava on its own is wonderful for sleep, do yourself a favor and flush the Ambien.

Try 20-30 grams (not milligrams) of medium grind traditionally prepared root or maybe eat/cap 2-3 teaspoons of micronized root. Sorry but the majority of kava products that you will find pre-capped are going to be complete garbage sold at ridiculous prices. For a 200mg cap to give you strong enough effects to sleep it would have to be a very pure high potency kavalactone extract of at least 80% purity. Do yourself a favor and do traditional prep

Some Kava gives you a "lift" rather than putting you into a sleepy state of mind. I usually drink a Borongoru if I want Kava to help me sleep. It's important to note that the sleepiness one gets from Kava has more to do with the mind being relaxed and free, and thus ready for sleep. Kava doesn't generally make you tired.
Sorry, only just seen this... use the @ tag to alert people to your replies... In answer to your question... I don't know what caps you are using but they tend to be of dubious quality and content and nothing like a traditional experience. If you're looking for something that's going to help you sleep well you need to be looking into heavy kavas like stone from Nakamal at Home, Papa Kea, Hiwa or Nene from GHK, Tongan Reserve from thekavaroots.com (my favourite kava ever), and plenty of others that do a similar job. Everyone is different so you may have to try a couple of different types before you find the one that hits you just right but get some medium grind, prep yourself a bowl full and give it a couple of hours spacing your shells out every 30 mins or so. You should be golden.
