I wouldn't use ambien long term, no matter what your doc thinks. It was originally suppose to be a 14 day treatment, now doctors throw it at anyone with sleeping problems. It isnt a true benzo, butit does bind near the same receptors. Not a long term solution.
chamomile tea
Wild Turkey usually works for me. It's the one with the little Turkey on front.
Benadryl is Trade Mark for the old school anti-histamine, and pretty innocuous; look for diphenhydramine HCL, 25 mg, as a generic at dollar stores.
It definitely makes most people drowsy; acutally a benefit when kids get stung by bees, etc.
In fact, the original OTC sleep-aid, Sominex is nothing but Benadryl.
It is also safe to use on dogs.
So add it to your BOB/GHB's first aid kit.
FYI:
Sominex = Benadryl
zzzQuil = Benadryl
Kroger Allergy Pills = Benadryl
Tylenol PM = Benadryl + acetaminophen (Tylenol)
Excedrin PM = Benadryl + acetaminophen
I'm forgetting several other brand names, but you get the idea.
Most of the liquid "night time" cold remedies also include....alcohol.
No surprise, it is a depressant.
Hey, I like Chamomile tea as a sleep aid....w/ a couple shots!
The chamomile part is optional....
Some people need stronger prescription drugs like Ambien and the others mentioned, but try the simple, cheap solution and work your way up.
I am NOT a fan of the $6+billion a year snake-oil industry known as "nutritional supplements."
They are untested, unregulated, unproven chemicals that render a homeopathic alternative to a proven solution.
Some contain chemicals that are similar to credible pharmaceuticals, so they may provide some relief.
My point is, why use them when there are plenty of drugs available that were specifically designed, tested and approved for a specified problem at an effective dosage level? To be approved, they also have side effects and drug interactions documented.

When I worked midnight shift yrs ago I used it to sleep during the day. I slept very well but had WEIRD WEIRD WEIRD dreams. Not sick dreams, just weird.....but I slept.
