Question 2

what is the better sleep aid?

Accepted Answer

There isn't one best: Sleep medication. Different sleep medications suit different patients and different conditions more optimally. Melatonin is often used because it is often effective, inexpensive, available over the counter and does not cause drowsiness the next day. Make sure that you are using excellent sleep hygiene. Retire ; rise same time each day. Keep bedroom dark ; cool ; use only for sex ; sleep. Turn off.

Question 3

is there an otc sleep aid that actually works?

Accepted Answer

Sleep hygiene.: Generally, go to bed at the same time every night, awaken the same time every morning, stay in bed if you awaken during the night, no naps during the day, no activities in bed other than sleeping and relations, don&#x27;t eat within four hours of going to sleep. Melatonin supplementation can help, too.

Question 4

Accepted Answer

Different options: Some herbals that are used to help sleep include  Valerian, Kava Kava, Chamomile, Passion Flower, Hops, Skullcap &amp; California Poppy.
 Melatonin is always a good option. Kava Kava can cause liver problems.

Sleep aid: Otc aids include melatonin, diphenhydramine, and herbals such as valerian root and chamomile. Prescription aids include ambien, Lunesta , sonata, (zaleplon) anti-depressants, and anti-anxiety meds.

Accepted Answer

Technically not: But it is often used off label for sleep and works very well in many patients for sleep. It is fda approved as an antidepressant.

Question 7

can i take xanax as a nighttime sleep aid?

Accepted Answer

Possibly: In fact, Xanax, like most medicines in its class, can function to help with sleep. But you need to have this directed by a prescribing doctor who can advise how this is accomplished in your particular case.

Question 8

is there a sleep aid without diphenhydramine?

Accepted Answer

Melatonin: My first suggestion is to practice good sleep hygiene -- keep your sleep structured, use bed for sleep and intimacy only, avoid lying in bed long periods, avoid day time napping. Melatonin is a naturally occurring hormone and over-the-counter supplement that can help improve sleep if taken at bedtime. It is not, and does not contain diphenhydramine. Give yourself 6-8 hours to sleep. Good luck!

Yes: but make sure the night time sleeping aid does not already have tylenol already in it
