As life gets more and more hectic, more and more people are using OTC sleeping aids. A lot of people I know keep asking me which one would be good choice (including some who are teens--in private "progressive academy type" schools). I've done some research and some of the common ones like simply sleep (ingredients are anti-histamine) and melatonin all have the same precaution and side efffects. Melatonin is intrinsically produced by epithalamus (pineal gland); so, does that make it safer to take as your body itself synthesizes such same substance? What to recommend to teen vs. adult on these OTC sleeping aids (FDA still considers some of them "food" (supplement), so literature is quite limited) Any thoughts would be of great discussion... thanks
