Catnip for human consumption?

I read that you can make catnip as a tea to help relieve insomnia? anyone else hear this?

Catnip has been used in herbal remedies since at least the 15th century    I have read of its use as a diuretic as well as to treat insomnia, as well as cautions over using it while pregnant and more.  I'd do a good google search before using.

For info on catnip as relates  (mainly) to cats, read my catnip faq http://www.catniptoys.com/pages/Catnip-FAQ.html

I don't drink tea, but I know it's in the mint family and I love most mint flavored stuff, I'll even eat mint by itself, my boyfriend is hopefully going to buy me some catnip to make a tea with... though if I don't like it I'll try eating it by itself. My big bro's baby girl prec loves catnip

Have seen the premade tea bags at health food stores and some larger grocerys.  Never tried it as I figured the cats would get hurt.  I do have chamomile occasionally.
