Hey there,
the leaves of Passiflora incarnata actually act as a mild sedative rather than as a stimulant, which is why it's used in home remedies for insomnia. It's quite pleasant tasting as a tea (although it's not so nice when smoked, and to be honest doesn't roll all that well), two teaspoons of the dried leaf to a cup of water is sufficient, let it steep for ten minutes and then drink it about an hour or so before you plan to go to bed.
