Wind-down tea for a day sleeper

Working nights means my "bedtime" is 10am, with the sun blazing and the neighbour's leaf blower going. So I've built a little wind-down potion for sleeping by day. One teaspoon of chamomile, a scant pinch of lavender (any more and it tastes like soap, trust me), a few leaves of lemon balm from the window box and a drip of honey. Before I drink it I hold the mug close and say one question into the steam, the thing I'd like to dream about. Then I write that question at the top of a fresh page in my journal. I don't know if the dreams answer. I do know I've kept that journal since I was nine, and the questions alone tell a pretty good life story.
