How does Valium make you feel?

i just took half a 5mg. Valium last night about an hour or so before bed- in about twenty minutes i could feel myself calming down, ( i have sleep problems) - it was very calming, made me not think about mounds of things when i would lay down for the night. it didnt make me totally sleepy- i could function on it in the day time and prolly be in a very good mood! it doesnt really do much to you, just makes you feel very relaxed.
