Sleep Aid Recommendation?

Question

Can someone recommend an Over the counter or natural sleep aid? My Doctor gave me a script for presciption sleep aid, but I'd like to hear about any success with other things. Thank you!

Answer 1

Bendryl its used for allergies but can also be used for sleep! A doctor reccomended it to me before.
Hope I helped. (Because you helped me)

Answer 2

I ended a 2 year bout with insomnia drinking Himalayan Goji Juice. Nothing else worked. Not only did it help me sleep every night, but I also eliminated hot flashes, night sweats, headaches and heartburn. My nails and hair are growing very quickly as well.
It is the only food on earth that contains 4 natural polysaccharides which flush out your receptor cells and help your DNA to communicate. It is an Adaptogen, so it is effective for all auto-immune disfunctions.
Just the fact that I sleep excellent now and will never have to take meds again, made it well worth it for me.

Answer 3

Don't ever take the sleeping pills route!!

1. They will damage your liver big time and you can get into serious health problems.

2. You will get hooked up on them and you won't be able to have a normal life any more if you don't take your pills everyday.

The sleeping pills industry is damaging our health by capitalizing on our ignorance, and by distracting people from effective and natural ways to deal with this problem. I had been taking prescription sleep medications [Ambien] for over 5 years. It stopped working and I simply took more. Still did not work. Nights were very difficult - medication put me to sleep but I would wake up after 2–3 hours with a strong sympathetic response (fast pulse, pounding heartbeat, wide awake alert). It was a very difficult cycle to break. I was really in bad shape due to lack of sleep.

After years of struggling I was able to cure my insomnia naturally and pretty fast. I followed the Sleep Tracks sleep optimization program, here is their official web -site if you want to take a look: http://www.insomniacure.net

Ohhh..and Good Luck!

Answer 4

There are many ways to cure insomnia. Treatment depends on different factors such as the cause and the severity of insomnia or possible underlying problems.

You can try one of the OTC sleep aids containing diphenhydramine. If you'd like to use herbs, the most popular herbal remedy for insomnia is valerian root.
Often people use a popular dietary supplement - melatonin.


If the cause of insomnia is just an environmental factor, it is relatively easy to overcome it with changes in your lifestyle.

Answer 5

My mother has been using Sleep Easy( I think it's called that) - it's a new brand of Tylenol PM specifically for sleep. For a more natural approach, chamomile tea is pretty soothing.

Answer 7

Tylenol PM's always put me right to sleep. Works like a charm, every time. It was a nice, deep sleep until morning.

Answer 8

Melatonin, it can be bought OTC and is a natural sleep aid.

Answer 9

I have tried every OTC sleep aid out there that is sold in America. I take a combination of Ambien CR along with 2 Benadryl at night. I also take Valerian & melatonin.

Answer 10

Valerian Root is good for relaxing your nervous system and helping you fall asleep. Avoid driving or working on machinery when using it.
