Avoid prescription pills. There are many natural products and methods to help you sleep. With a pill you get the side effects of brain fog, loss of memory, and being tired during the day.

Unisom works very well for me. It is much cheaper to buy a drugstore generic. Read the label, some are 25mg and some are 50mg. The first time I tried it, I took one, and nothing. I took another, then another. You should be careful doing this, since people have different tolerance levels! Keep in mind that it can actually take an hour, or hour and a half before you feel the effects. For me, 2 or 3 will work. Also - very important - you MUST go to bed when you first start to feel the effects, or it will actually wear off and you will be back to square one. This can be a very dangerous drug, as a person becomes acclimated to it. I would not recommend using it for more than 3 or 4 days in a row.
