What are some effective sleep aids that don't make you addicted?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
May be difficult: Melatonin, if it works, could be tried. Lunesta (eszopiclone) and trazadone may not be as habituating as Ambien or a barbiturate, or alprazolam. Benadryl may help in some cases. Talk to your doctor, as there may be some simple approaches to change your pattern.
