Is a lack of sleep interfering with your ability to get through the day? Do you have problems sleeping or even consider yourself to have insomnia or a sleep disorder? Sleeplessness can often be addressed with over-the-counter sleeping pills and supplements. CVS can help you find a product to promote restful sleep with a diverse assortment of sleep aids available for you to browse and buy online.

What are the Best Sleep Medicine & Supplements Brands?

How To Improve Sleep

While sleeping pills and other sleeping aids may help in your goal to help improve sleep in the short term, you may also want to consider a few additional steps that may help bring a long term solution to a good nights sleep when bedtime comes around:

  • Avoiding stimulants at night such as nicotine, caffeine, and alcohol to let your body calm down in the evening. Be mindful of some over-the-counter pain relievers that can contain caffeine for faster-acting delivery

  • A cool, quiet, dark room can help to foster an optimal sleep environment

  • Lighten up on your evening meal so that your digestive system can rest when you want to sleep

  • Exercise can promote better sleep, but because it is a stimulant it is important to do it early enough in the day

What Is the Most Effective Natural Sleep Aid?

Unlike over-the-counter sleep aids that contain diphenhydramine, natural sleep aids use ingredients that shouldn't leave you feeling drowsy the next day. While melatonin tablets and gummies are popular choices, there are also natural sleep aids that use ingredients such as blackberry, lavender and specialized herbal blends. Whether you choose a tea for better sleep or one of the many natural options at CVS, you'll offer yourself a chance to feel rested. 

What Is the Best Over-the-Counter Sleep Aid? 

Ultimately, the best over-the-counter sleep aid is the one that allows you to get some sleep. However, the most popular over-the-counter sleep aids at CVS often contain the same ingredient that's found in over-the-counter allergy medication — diphenhydramine. Designed to help you fall asleep quickly and wake up feeling refreshed, each sleep aid gummy, tablet and liquid formula is considered safe and effective. If physical discomfort is interfering with your sleep, sleep aid formulas that include pain relief may help give you the most restful sleep possible.  

Can You Take Pain Relievers With Sleep Aids?

Before taking any over-the-counter sleep aid or natural sleep aid, it's a good idea to talk to your doctor. Once you've been given their approval, there are a number of sleep aids that can help you get a good night's sleep. If you're also taking pain relievers before you go to bed, CVS makes it easy to combine sleep aids with pain relievers in one dose.    Whether you use sleep aids with ibuprofen or formulas that include acetaminophen, having the medications you need in one product makes it easy to reduce the number of medications you take every day. These blended formulas offer the benefits of more comfortable sleep and allow you to wake up rested, refreshed and in less pain.  

Is Magnesium A Good Sleep Aid?

Magnesium has many positive functions in the body, from bone health to muscle function, and also plays an important role in helping you fall asleep and stay asleep. Magnesium works by maintaining healthy levels of GABA, a neurotransmitter that slows down the connection between your mind and your nervous system, allowing your body to relax and fall asleep more easily. Magnesium also helps to regulate your sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems, both of which aid in your body's efforts at achieving an optimal night's sleep. If you are not getting enough magnesium in your diet through leafy greens, dried fruits, bananas, avocados, or dairy, CVS has a wide array of magnesium supplements for you to reach ideal daily intake levels.

Does CVS Sell Over The Counter Sleep Aid?

Yes, CVS sells a variety of Over The Counter Sleep Aid in stores and online.

Are Over The Counter Sleep Aids Available For Same Day Pickup?

Yes Over The Counter Sleep Aids are available for same day pickup at most locations, check your local stores availability and add to cart to pick up today.

Is There An Age Limit To Purchase Over The Counter Sleep Aids?

No there is no age limit to purchase Over The Counter Sleep Aids.

Sleep Medications

Over-the-counter sleep medications may help you fall asleep and make it easier for you to stay asleep during the night. Typically, over-the-counter sleep aid medications contain antihistamines that cause drowsiness due to their effects on the nervous system. The most commonly used antihistamines in sleep medications are doxylamine succinate and diphenhydramine. Medicinal sleep aids come in a number of forms, including tablets, capsules and liquids.

Natural Sleep Remedies

Some people prefer to take a more natural approach to promoting sleep and use supplements like melatonin instead of medications. Melatonin is a popular natural sleep aid. The substance is naturally found in the body, where it helps to control your sleep-wake cycle. There is some evidence to suggest that increasing levels of melatonin may promote more restful sleep. Other supplements taken to address sleeplessness include valerian root, 5-HTP and SAMe.

Sleep Aids For Relieving Pain

Pain from an injury or illness can make it difficult to rest at night. With nighttime pain relievers, you can alleviate discomfort that is keeping you awake and benefit from over-the-counter sleep medications. For pain, these products contain either acetaminophen or a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) like ibuprofen. In addition, the medicines include an antihistamine sleep aid.

Best Over The Counter Sleep Aid

Generally, over-the-counter sleep aids are only intended to be taken for a short period of time. For chronic insomnia, you may require a prescription medication. Before using any type of sleep aid, you should consult your medical provider to find out if the product is right for you. This is true even for natural sleep aids, as their ingredients could pose a risk for side effects and may have the potential to interact with certain medications. Sleep aids cause drowsiness, so it is important that you do not drive or operate heavy machinery after using them. Alcohol can heighten the effects of sleep aids and can make a potentially dangerous combination. Only use sleep aids as recommended by the manufacturer unless your health care provider gives you other advice.

Diphenhydramine for Sleep

Diphenhydramine is an antihistamine that's commonly used for relieving the symptoms of allergies or the common cold. However, you may also use this product to help you sleep since it contains ingredients that may help you relax. You can find diphenhydramine sold exclusively as a sleep aid, or you may take cold and allergy medications that include it as a main ingredient. To use diphenhydramine for sleep, always follow the dosage instructions as indicated on the packaging. Never take this product more than a few nights and talk to your doctor if you find you're still having trouble falling asleep if the problem persists for more than a week.

Nighttime Sleep Aids

There are several over-the-counter nighttime sleep aids to choose from to help your insomnia, and many of them are natural supplements. Melatonin is a supplement that can help your body reset its natural circadian rhythm for more restful sleep. Levels of this natural hormone decrease as we age, so taking it to supplement your nighttime routine may help you sleep better. Other sleep aids that are all-natural include valerian root, chamomile, and theanine. Doxylamine is another synthetic sleep aid you can try. This sedating antihistamine is found in products like Unisom Sleep Tabs and has the same or similar side effects as diphenhydramine.

Sleeping Pills Side Effects

While there are many benefits to taking a sleep aid, there are also some side effects to be aware of, including:

  • Feeling groggy, foggy, or "hungover" the next morning

  • Becoming addicted to sleeping pills so that you depend on them to sleep

  • The inability to drive or operate machinery safely if the sleep aid is still in your system

  • Nightmares, night sweats, or dizziness

The most extreme side effects of sleeping pills tend to be found in people who use prescription medications. As for over-the-counter options, simply take them as directed and try not to take a sleep aid more than two nights in a row. If you're still concerned about your insomnia or sleep troubles, consult with your doctor as soon as possible. It's always important to consult with your doctor if you believe you have a sleep disorder to learn which sleep aids may work best for you. If you would prefer to not take any sleep aids talk to your doctor about how therapy may be able to help.
