Mugwort.. Experience?

Well, I just completed a mugwort tincture:
  • 130g fresh, undried mugwort
  • 750ml 40% abv vodka
  • 250ml 34% abv rice wine
This was left in a glass jar in a dark, warm place for about a month. The result was a rich, dark amber-colored tincture that smelled like an herbal candy apple, and tasted like spicy, resinous honey that had been spiked with herbs with a hint of saccharine.
  • One 15ml shot glass gave me a good night's sleep, devoid of dreams.
  • Two 15ml shot glasses induced a heavy feeling in my limbs after 5 minutes;
    • At the 15 minute mark, I was suddenly very awake and mildly stimulated (this lasted for maybe 5–10 minutes)
    • I had a good night's sleep come morning... I know I had dreams, but I cannot remember any.
I feel like this potion could be more concentrated. I'll try 45ml next time, but I'd rather not imbibe that much ethanol on a regular night.
