Over the counter sleep aids are not an uncommon thing these days. According to emedicinehealth there is an estimated 30-50% of the general population suffering from insomnia. With sleep being a crucial part of normal bodily function it’s no wonder why there are so many sleep aid pills on the market. Insomnia is defined as difficulty initiating or maintaining sleep. With so many over-the-counter sleep aids claiming to help you get your ZZZ’s what should you look for? Here are 5 Supplement Solutions that have been used to bring relief to sleepless nights.
1) Melatonin is one of the most popular sleep aids on the market today. It is naturally produced in the body by your pineal gland, which makes serotonin that is eventually converted into Melatonin. It is usually given in dosages of 1-3mg.
2) Valerian is a very popular herb in natural sleep pills. It widely accepted in some countries in Europe (Germany, France, Switzerland, Belgium, and Italy) as a remedy for insomnia.
3) Lavender has been used in just about every way as a sleep aid. This shrubby flowering bush has been used to help with sleep through aromatherapy, drinking tea, oils, pills, etc…
4) Chamomile has been used as a sleep aid throughout much of history. Like Lavender it has been converted to aromatherapy, tea, oils, pills, etc..
5) 5-HTP (5-hydroxytryptophan) is an amino acid. It’s made by tryptophan (a key ingredient in turkey, no wonder we take a nap at thanksgiving). It is one of the 20 essential amino acids made by the human body. 5-HTP and Tryptophan raise serotonin, which has been suggested to help you sleep among several other positive affects.
Hopefully these tips will lead you to a long happy night’s sleep. If you chose to use an over-the-counter sleep aid please be sure to consult your doctor for possible side effects.
