  1. These are some natural sleep aids that can help you get to sleep and stay asleep without any drugs. Most of these suggestions are for products made by NOW Foods, which is a leader in the supplement market and makes some of the highest quality supplements on the market. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cLktlWMwwGY
  2. If you are on an SSRI or any other type of anti-depressant, look out for the ingredients L-Trytophan, 5HTP (5 Hydroxy Tryptophan) and L-5-Hydroxytryptophan as they have the potential to cause serotonin syndrom, which causes your muscles to ache and not be able to move and can potentially be deadly. None of the products listed below have these ingredients (EXCEPT WHERE LABELED - 2 BELOW)

  4. -NOW Sleep: This is one of my favorites. It has 600mg of valerian root extract, Hops, Passionflower and GABA. It works great before bed or even in the middle of the night. You will sleep really good on this. https://shrsl.com/2qjxw
  5. -NOW Kava: Kava is like herbal Valium. One cap works to absolutely knock me out, but 2 is also good. It has 30% kavalactones extract which is one of the highest extracts on the market and NOW is one of the safest and most trusted supplement companies out there. I also combo Kava with the next 2 supplements for added benefit. https://shrsl.com/2qjy6
  6. -NOW Lecithin: This one isn't so much a sleep supplement, but it has fatty acids and tons of choline and inositol - both of which can sort of help sleep, but the main reason I take it with kava is because the kavalactones bind to the fat and make them more orally bioavailable. https://shrsl.com/2qjyt
  7. -NOW L-Theanine 100mg: Theanine is great for relaxation, anxiety and sleep. There's tons of good studies on it and they add some decaf green tea extract for added antioxidant benefit. The combo of Kava, Theanine and Lecithin will definitely knock you out. https://amzn.to/35OtCZW
  8. -Sleep Support: This is one I bought just to try and it works pretty well. But it doesn't seem to keep me asleep all night sometimes and I find Now Sleep works better, but I think it's definitely worth a buy. https://amzn.to/3ch1Ass
  9. -Melatonin: I've never really liked Melatonin, it just doesn't really jive with me for some reason, but if you decided to take it, I would recommend the slow release variety as it keeps you asleep all night. https://amzn.to/2DkO7Td
  10. -CBD Oil: I recommend the 83mg from the CBDisterally. Your mileage may very, but about 2ml gets me feeling really good. I recommend the full spectrum blend with the 0.03% THC. http://bit.ly/TheBest-CBD (Warning: Full Spectrum CBD may cause a positive drug test for marijuana.

  11. -Delta 8: Delta 8 is the chemical cousin of marijuana. Marijuana is Delta-9-THC, this is Delta-8-THC. It's technically legal under the Farm Act of 2019 since it's made from industrial hemp, just like CBD. The Sativa version has mood relaxing, pain relieving, and sleep inducing properties. The Indicia version is more if you're looking for a little stimulation. They sell it as gummies, oils, capsules, vape pens, and more. It's a very interesting product and worth checking out.

  14. -REPP Sports Phenibut 250mg Phenibut is the most iffy one on this list. Some people love it, some people are scared of it. In my experience, it's not euphoric so there's really no risk of addiction and 250mg is a very good starting dose for the compound. Phenibut is actually a gabapentanoid - similar to gabapentin, Lyrica and especially baclofen, while not directly working at the GABA receptor site, it has some form of interaction with it. You can read more about phenibut on the Wikipedia article below.

  21. Hi-Tech Somatomax: This stuff has a load of phenibut, l-dopa, and tyrosine which will boost up your neurotransmitters with lots of phenibut and dopamine to give you a good positive feeling. It's a great product and I like it a lot, but if you have depression or anxiety you should stay away from this. http://bit.ly/HiTechSomatomax123
  22. If you're looking for some antihistamines to knock you out, I recommend the following for SHORT TERM usage ONLY!
  23. Doxylamine Succinate: This is what they put in Nyquil to help you sleep. It's a first generation H1 receptor antagonist, which helps put you to sleep. https://amzn.to/3bxhCiB
  24. Benadryl (Diphenhydramine): Benadryl is also an antihistamine and will put you to sleep as well. It's dirt cheap when you buy it as an antihistamine, but when you buy it as a sleep aid a the pharmacy it's much more expensive. https://amzn.to/2N4uTG5
  25. One thing I did come across while searching for melatonin was a product by AllMax called Lights Out. It has a lot of good ingredients in it. You'll notice they added B6 in the form of P5P which is the superior form (but it gives me weird dreams). That plus a lot of good sleep ingredients gives it a 👍 in my book.
