Finding Peaceful Sleep with OTC Sleep Aids
Many people first try natural sleep aids in an effort to address occasional sleep issues without pharmaceutical medications. Melatonin is a hormone produced naturally by the body that regulates sleep cycles. Supplemental melatonin is available over the counter in time-release formulations to help induce drowsiness as bedtime approaches. Typical doses range from 1-5mg taken 30-60 minutes before bedtime.
