Is it safe to take a unisom for insomnia?

Yes, but...: Over the counter products can help with ocassional insomnia. But, most people will develope a tolerance to them quickly, and they will not work as effectively or not at all. If sleep is probematic, i woulod suggest having your primary provider refer you to a sleep medicine specialist.

Get up the same time each day, regardless of what time you fell asleep. 2. Make a regular, relaxing bedtime routine. Relaxing rituals prior to bedtime may include a warm bath or shower, aroma therapy, reading, or.
