Blog #4 Shopping for sleep solutions

Today I went to Jewel to do my shopping for sleeping aids. I had to look for the sleep aids. They had everything listed, but not sleep aids. My overall impression of the sleep aids once I found them was good. They had liquids like Zquil on one shelf and pills like unisom on another shelf. The melatonin was in the vitamin section and you would have to know about this before shopping for this. I was surprised how many items there were available. In the pain relievers there is pm versions of them which are above the sleep aids.
   Well I was surprised how many different types of products for sleep there was. There are liquid, pills, natural items, ant teas and coffee that have sleep aids in it. Some products have diphenhydramine in it, quite a lot  have melatonin, valerian is used in a few and finally chamomile is in tea and coffee. As far as recommendations and safety they all say you should get 7-9 hours of sleep and don't over use the products and definitely don't take over the recommended amount.
 I usually use the natural products such as melatonin and chamomile because they seem to work the best and not cause me to be groggy the next day.
I would try a product once to see if it is effective or ask my doctors if they thought the medications were safe for me to use.
    

The melatonin seems to be easy to find in the vitamin section and they were alphabetized.

I liked how the store had the liquid forms on one shelf and pills on another. They also had the generic form next to the non-generic pill. 

As far as the names go most of them had sleep in the word so they were easy to identify with. Most of the packaging was the same that did not catch my eye. I also only saw one product that had nature in the word. It seem to be the one that had natural ingredients in it and it has it's own quality standards. It is made by nature made.

I prefer the products that work the best for me. Melatonin works well and so does the sleepy time teas in the pictures below. I feel these products don't effect my energy level the next day like unisome  does. I also have done my own research on these products and these have good reviews.

 

 

 

 

 

 

I was surprised to see so many sleepy time teas in the store. The other thing that caught my eye was  they had an organic option. Finally, there were many different flavors such as mint and honey.

I usually don't go for the drink sleepy time options because I have to take pills at night so it is just easier for me to take my pills with water. However, I have been hearing about a new coffee with chamomile in it and I like coffee so I might be willing to try this Item I did not see it in the store today,

    I think the one item that is missing is a melatonin  with a pain reliever in it.
The brand would be well know and in a pill form or liquid .  I would work with the different pain relievers such as alieve, advil, Tylenol ect.
