OTC product for sleep


Is there any over the counter medication I can take for sleep?

The two that come to mind are Benadryl and melatonin. Both are useless. Benadryl works for a few days and in addition, does not work in everyone. It is an older generation anti histamine. Melatonin may or may not work. Some people say it works, others say it does not. I have no idea but I do not recommend either. Valerian is also sold for sleep in healthfood stores. It also does not work. Unfortunately, despite advances in medicine, we still do not know how to treat many disorders.
