General herbal practice is after harvesting green plant, let it dry out overnight before making a tincture. The surface dew of the day evaporates so as not to add more water than the menstrum already holds. If storing for tea later, also do this so to eliminate chances of mildew in the container or baggy.
No one has mentioned wild lettuce as sleep aid. I have used tincture, drop by drop until the sandman comes. 🥰
