Do yourself a favor and try something herbal. Plus look up ways to sleep without having to use medication or supplements. Usually there’s an underlying reason for insomnia. I know there’s one for mine, but I choose not to take care of it. I take Valerian Root, but it as with all medication is just a short term fix and should not be taken every day.

Tylenol PM…i love that $ hit! its the only tylenol that actually does something for me!! ;0)
There is usually a sleep aid section. Look for diphenhydramine sleep aids. usually 50 mg take about 3 or 4 of them and youll be so drowsy your confused. IF you take really high doses you can get hallucinations.
Hope this helps!

OTC sleep aids are generally nothing more than antihistamines, like Benadryl. They do cause drowsiness, but leave you feeling groggy in the morning, work with decreasing efficacy, are habit forming, and cause weight gain.
If you’re having trouble sleeping, cut out all caffeine and alcohol, get at least 30 minutes moderate exercise daily, and drink a cup of chamomile tea with drops of valerian tincture before bed.

Melatonin is available over the counter. It is a mild hormone that starts the ‘go to sleep’ process. Start with a low dose, like 1mg.
Trust me – you really don’t want to be knocked out cold. That just messes with the quality of your sleep, which only makes things worse instead of better.
There are several things you can do to improve your sleep:
Make your bedroom a sleep only location. No TV, no video games, no parties or entertainment.
Make sure your bedroom is dark and quiet. Use ear plugs if you have to.
Start your shut-down routine half an hour before lights out so you have enough time to shower and get settled; you don’t want to still be revved when you hit the pillow.
Take an aspirin or a Tylenol before bed. Little aches and pains disturb sleep.
Get on a routine and stay on it. Go to bed at the same time, get up at the same time. Every day.
I just picked up Sleep MD last week from netnutri.com and it has worked very well and is under $ 15.00. You take it about 1 hour before you want to sleep and by the time that hour is up you will be very ready for bed.
You might be able to find it at your local drug store as well, if not, check online.
Hope that helps!
