If anyone is actually curious, I had to worm around.
Sleepytime tea is almost all gabaergic herbs (chamomile, lemon balm, lavender, some versions kava)
Worms do have GABA receptors like humans do, and they are also inhibitory like humans are.
But the receptors are substantially different between species so the worm may or may not react.
But it is indeed perfectly safe for the worms who evolved to live in literal shit.
Also if any of them do work on worm GABA receptors, it seems to not take much inebriation to get them to spontaneously start shitting.

worms don't get sleepy. They're immune to sleep and if you consume them they also get rid of sleep buildup
