Sleep: Need assessment to find out the cause of your insomnia so you can treat it. If primary insomnia is determined to be the cause, and your doctor approves it, melatonin is worth a try.

Alteril: Agree that causes such as obstructive sleep apnea , and medication interactions should be checked. The best over the counter sleep aid, according to my patients, is alteril, a combination of three natural sleep aids; valerian root, melatonin, and l-tryptophan.
