Valerian is an herb that is sold as a dietary supplement, and is available online and in health food stores. The valerian root is believed to cause mild sedation to remedy insomnia, although clinical studies have found its results to be inconclusive. While valerian seems to be less effective than prescription sleep medication, it may not inhibit mental or physical activity the following day as many prescription sleep aids do. Somnapure Melatonin is a natural hormone found in the body and is sold as a vitamin supplement online and in drugstores. It is taken most frequently by people who cannot sleep because of a drastic change in sleep cycle, i.e. someone who works the night shift or who experiences jet lag. In a recent study no significant side effects were reported when used for three months or less. Melatonin should not be used by people with autoimmune disease, depression, or schizophrenia, or by women who are pregnant or nursing. There are many different over-the-counter medications you can use to experience a better night's sleep, including Phenhydramine, Doxylamine. The main ingredient in sleeping pills is anti-histamine. Histamine promotes wakefulness in the brain. When anti-histamines are taken it can make you feel very sleepy. Consult your doctor about prescription medications, as there are many things to take into consideration when selecting a specific prescription medication. Sometimes insomnia may be worsened by activities in our daily lives. Doing relaxation techniques, yoga, or progressive muscle relaxation at least twenty minutes before going to bed may help prepare you for a good night's sleep. Your diet can also be modified to promote sleep by avoiding lots of sweets, cutting out caffeine, and eating foods that are high in magnesium.
