If you suffer from ongoing sleep problems, or even the occasional restless night, you've probably asked yourself at some point, "What is the best sleep aid I can use to help me fall asleep?"

You're certainly not alone in asking this question. According to a report by the Institute of Medicine of the National Academies, between 50 million and 70 million Americans have some kind of chronic sleep disorder. Millions more suffer from occasional or frequent sleeplessness.

It's for this reason that this site was developed. We've taken a look at the most popular products in order to help find the best over the counter (otc) sleep aid available. Our results are presented below.

>>Product Report<< Melatrol is an all-natural sleep aid that is available over the counter (without a prescription). The active ingredient is Melatonin, a hormone produced naturally in the brain that signals to your body when it's time to sleep. Melatrol does not have any reported side effects and is currently offering a free trial. Unlike other OTC sleep aids, Melatrol does not contain Diphenhydramine.
