I am able to sleep when I was working in night shift by using melatonin half hour before going to bed. I took 1-2mg. I have colleagues that take up to 6 mg. The average is about 3mg. This is non additive. Another point is melatonin need no doctor's prescription. You can read more from this site

I have even read from books on melatonin that it is an anti-aging pill. Not bad. You sleep and stop growing old.

I use melatonin and stay away from the computer screen at least an hour before bedtme. Melatonin acts as a natural way to get your sleep cycle back on track. I've recently learnedthat the computer screen "wakes up" your brain activity and counteracts anything I take to help me sleep. Sleep deprivation can and will make your other pain feel worse.Good luck!

Yes, sominex, sleep MD, to name a couple. There are lots of sleep aids available at any drugstore. In addition, melatonin is for sleeping and is a natural aid. I use that since I am horrible at sleeping. Hope this helps!
