What are some over-the-counter sleep aids i could use to help me fall asleep?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Try melatonin: It is natural and won't destroy your sleep cycles like other sleep aides that commonly contain Diphenhydramine . They will put you to sleep but destroy your sleep cycles so when you awake you might be groggy and even if you slept 8 or more hours still feel tired.
