Restorol is definitely one of the most effective herbal sleep aids on the on our list. The list of active ingredients hits all of the right keys when it comes to promoting healthful, restful sleep. The ingredients are all-natural and safe, which means no side effects, no grogginess, and no addiction.

Dream Elements Sleep drops are unique in that they use a liquid formulation for extremely fast and efficient delivery of their key ingredients. Dream Elements tastes great and can be added to any nighttime beverage. It's an all natural formula which is gentle yet very effective and one of the highest rated products we've reviewed.

4
Alteril Natural Sleep Aid

Alteril Natural Sleep Aid

Alteril relies on two active ingredients, melatonin and L-Tryptophan. Both of these ingredients have been shown to have a positive effect on the quality and restfulness of sleep. However, the combination of ingredients present in Alteril is not as powerful as found in some other herbal sleep aids.

5
ZzzQuil Sleep Aid

ZzzQuil Sleep Aid

People who are familiar with the sleep-inducing effects of cold medicine would assert that ZzzQuil will likely be able to help you with occasional insomnia. However, it does so by using chemicals, such as diphenhydramine and alcohol and a controversial sugar syrup.

6
SleepMD

SleepMD

For some people, Sleep MD works solely because of melatonin, but the issue lies with their other questionable ingredients. This is cause for concern for some, as they would wake up with side effects of morning drowsiness, headache, or worse.

7
Jatamansi

Jatamansi

Although scientific studies have been conducted on Jatamansi, it is used primarily today because of its history rather than for its actual effectiveness. It has sedative properties, but as a sleep aid, we are a bit wary about its ingredients.

8
Alluna Sleep

Alluna Sleep

Alluna attempts to market valerian root as a remedy for sleeplessness. Since valerian root has grown in popularity, many major companies have begun to package their own brand of the herb. Valerian does have great calming properties, which in turn can help people fall asleep easier.

9
Sleep Max

Sleep Max

Sleep Max can be commended for being all-natural, but for the most part, the ingredients are either too neutral, having no effect at all, or they are not effective in preventing sleeplessness. They also use valerian root so maybe the calming properties will help some people.

10
MidNite Sleep Aid

MidNite Sleep Aid

This product is marketed as a solution to help stop "midnight" awakenings and other general sleep issues. It seems to be a gentle formula which has few side effects.
