What you'll find
OTC Sleep Aids
Most OTC sleep aids use diphenhydramine (ZzzQuil, Unisom SleepTabs) or doxylamine (Unisom SleepMelts) as the active ingredient—both are antihistamines that cause drowsiness. Effective for occasional sleeplessness but not intended for nightly or long-term use.
Melatonin
A hormone the body produces naturally to regulate the sleep-wake cycle. OTC melatonin supplements are widely used for occasional insomnia, jet lag, and shift work sleep disruption. Lower doses (0.5mg to 3mg) are often as effective as higher doses—more is not necessarily better.
Snoring Relief
Nasal strips, nasal dilators, and chin straps that help keep airways open during sleep. Nasal strips like Breathe Right lift the sides of the nose to improve airflow—a simple, drug-free option for snoring caused by nasal congestion or narrowing.
Nasal Strips & Dilators
Also useful beyond snoring—commonly used by people with nasal congestion, allergies, or a deviated septum who want to breathe more easily during sleep without medication.
White Noise Machines
Sound machines that produce consistent background noise to mask disruptions. A non-pharmaceutical option for light sleepers or anyone in a noisy environment.
Sleep Masks & Earplugs
Blackout masks for light sensitivity and foam or silicone earplugs for noise. Simple, low-cost tools that make a meaningful difference for some people.
