Which is best to help you fall asleep and stay asleep through the night?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Natural vs. prescrip: I always recommend patients try natural supplements prior to prescription medications, which have a more profound effect on brain chemistry. Valarian root (used by native americans), l-tryptophan (turkey), and melatonin are useful. There is a supplement, alteril, which contains all three. All experts recommend quiet time prior to sleep, no tv or videos. Ambien cr is made for those who awaken at nigh.
