Nearly 70 million American adults suffer from sleep problems and if you've come here, than you are unfortunately one of them. Thankfully, there's hope.

The market is full of sleep aids claiming to help, but we know not all products are made equally. One of the most overlooked features that we focused on is the ability for a formula to help you quickly fall back to sleep after waking in the middle of the night.  

Choosing the product that is best for you can seem overwhelming, but it doesn't have to be so difficult. That's why we've tested and reviewed numerous top sleep aids and compiled the list of our favorites below [1]. Our team put in hundreds of hours exhaustively researching numerous natural sleep aids in order to compile an easy to review list to help you select the right product for your needs.

Restorol All Natural Sleep Aid

Restorol All Natural Sleep Aid

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 groggines, and no addiction.

3
Dream Elements Sleep Drops

Dream Elements Sleep Drops

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
Proper Core Sleep

Proper Core Sleep

Proper Core Sleep takes a holistic approach to sleep by also providing coaching.  They would like their customers to utilize their coaching service as well their sleep aids. Using both products together makes Proper Sleep one of the most expensive options on our list.  

7
Sleep Support

Sleep Support

Sleep Support has a somewhat generic brand name. We also found their list of ingredients on the generic side. It does have a decent mix of sleep ingredients but we feel it could be enhanced by adding some of the more advanced ingredients available on the market.

8
Night Shred

Night Shred

InnoSupps Night Shred attempts to not only help you sleep but to also burn fat during the night. While this sounds like an amazing dual action formula we're skeptical.  Trying to both optimize fat burning and calm the body and mind at the same time may limit its effectiveness.

9
Benesom

Benesom

Benesom can be commended for being an all-natural formula, but for the most part, we feel the ingredients are either too neutral or gentle. They do use Chinese Skullcap as a main ingredient which has been shown to help relax the body and mind but we'd like to see them add more potency to their formula.

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.
