Sleeping Pills

The main ingredient in over-the-counter sleeping pills is an antihistamine. Antihistamines, in brand name medications such as Benadryl, are generally taken for allergies, hay fever and common cold symptoms. While the positive effects have not been substantiated through research, the side effects, such as next-day drowsiness, can be common and severe.

Common OTC sleep medications include:

Diphenhydramine (found in brand names like Nytol, Sominex, Sleepinal, Compoz)

Doxylamine (brand names such as Unisom, Nighttime Sleep Aid)

My wife used to take Nachtrust/Nuitdor which she got from a local health store; she found them very helpful.

Sedinal+ are herbal pills, work really well for me, but quite expensive. Best to buy them online.

Don't know about sleeping pills. Before sleeping do some exercise. I think its best thing to do. You will get better sleep than consuming pills.
