Best over the counter sleep aide?

Question

I am looking for the best sleep aide to help me get a good nights rest

Answer 1

Hello, just wanted to let you know of a miracle pill that puts you to sleep, available over the counter, is actually very very beneficial for your health, and is only 3 bucks!! I had trouble falling asleep for years. I would lay in bed, and think and think and think for hours before I could fall asleep. It was literally driving me crazy!! I had tried every over the counter sleeping pill on the market and nothing helped. I turned to Nyquil and that did the trick. I had been drinking Nyquil almost every night to go to sleep until I stumbled upon this miracle sanity saving nutritional supplement named MELATONIN. And you can buy it at any GNC health food store. I advocate GNC because the melatonin they use goes through 85 different quality checks before its bottled. Buy the sublingual melatonin. The kind that dissolves underneath your tongue tastes like cherries and it’s good for you!! I was shocked at the effectiveness in putting me to sleep. If you have any questions before you buy it the sales associate at GNC should be able to answer any questions you have. It comes in 1 mg, I take 2 right before bed. The only side effects are weird dreams for the first two nights if any at all. I have been taking it for years and it’s truly been a blessing. And it has more antioxidant effects than Vitamin C and Vitamin E combined. You must take the sublingual kind from GNC otherwise it might not work because of quality and potency, should be taken at regular bedtimes in the evening. Must try the GNC brand at your local mall.
God Bless
P.S. after you try it and it works don’t forget to tell others about it. You could be saving someone else’s Sanity

Answer 2

Diphenhydramine, the basic ingredient in benadryl and other OTC sleep aides. Take 30-35mg, assuming you are an average size male. Works well enuf to even counter-effect stimulants such as caffeine and amphetamines.

Answer 3

I sure hope you mean 'sleep aid,' as the word 'aide' is used to refer to a person.

That aside, I like kava kava root tablets best. They are available at good health food stores and larger stores with a good supplements selection. They work like a charm.

If you take (or should take) calcium supplements, take them shortly before bed. That helps, too, as does chamomile tea.

If you prefer, an antihistamine -- like Benadryl or the generic equivalent thereof -- will work just fine.

Answer 4

I found Benadryl to be the best for getting sleep. I don't like the other OTC sleeping aids. As with anything, only use it for short term relief.

Good luck to you.

Answer 5

Nyquil
or Tylenol Pm

Answer 6

It's a toss up between Tylenol PM and Benedryl, which is basically what is in every sleep aid.

Answer 7

Melatonin.

Take it right before you go to bed, and when you feel drowsy, turn off the light (quit reading, etc) and go to sleep. You may experience wierd dreams. Get a time released formula that will continue to provide you with melatonin all night.

Melatonin is naturally produced by the pineal gland in the brain, and it is only produced when there is low lighting (i.e., getting ready for bed), and only for a brief period.
