Ideally, nothing: It's best if you can sleep well based on routines and non-medication interventions like darkening environment, avoiding caffeine and alcohol, a warm bath or shower before bed. For patients who seek a sleep aid, i often suggest melatonin as a safe option with few interactions and reasonable efficacy- it's available over the counter and can work well.
