A member asked:

Are there any over-the-counter sleep aids that don't make you tired in the morning?

Dr. Marsha Davis answered

Specializes in Internal Medicine

Melatonin : Melatonin and herbs like valerian or chamomile will not make you tired. Read labels carefully because anything with Diphenhydramine in it can make you tired and hung over even if you have slept 8 hours!
