Once you have done the support village quests you can get the sleep herbs you need fairly easy from the material gathering. No need to farm it on your own. Otherwise take the botanist skill and visit the cliffs and plains where I remember a bunch in close proximity.

Make a set with botanist 4
Set up a camp in the forest in Area 8 (3x Parashrooms nearby) and Area 10 in the Plains (3x Sleep Herb nearby)
Eat a meal with Truffle DuConga (sp?)
Warp between the two camps picking up all those things

Material Gathering is... really, genuinely awful and hasn't moved for me in over twelve hours of gameplay. Only strategy unfortunately is to go to the northeast side of the Windward Plains with Botanist to get the three Sleep Herbs, then do circuits through the Scarlet Forest for Parashrooms. Having the Area 9: Lookout Hill Camp is a huge time saver for fast travel.

Put a NPC on search for sleep herbs.
Nata manage all of them, so it's pretty easy to get what you need.
(And there is something satisfactory in silencing Nata with a mod while putting him to work).
Also always grab everything when you can while going to or chasing a monster. Usually when i have to go gather materials, it's either for food exchange or for ore, never for plants.
