"I personally don't recommend that people just go out and treat themselves with over-the-counter medications," says kryger. "they never solve the problem; they'll just help you get through." pharmacies certainly offer lots of sleep remedies. there are antihistamines, like benadryl, which have a sedative side effect. (the ingredient that causes drowsiness is also found in products like tylenol pm and advil pm.) but those medications can induce next-day grogginess—what some patients call "sleep hangovers"—and they can actually have an alerting or a disorienting effect on the elderly, says shives. other otc options include melatonin supplements and valerian extracts, although evidence of the effectiveness of either is slim, a national institutes of health insomnia consensus panel concluded in 2005. and, as shives says of melatonin, valerian, and similar substances, "nobody's regulating this stuff."

克瑞格说道,“我个人非常不建议人们简单地跑到街角医院,给自己胡乱开药。这些药不会解决问题;它们只能短时间内帮助你。”药房当然会提供许多睡眠治疗药物。它们是一些抗组胺剂(如苯海拉明),具有镇静剂一般的副作用。(引起睡意的成分还在其它产品中发现,如tylenol pm和advil pm。)但这些药物可能导致第二天站立不稳-也就是所谓的“睡眠‘宿醉’”。谢福思还说道,这些药物可能导致老年人变得警惕或迷失方向。其它otc药物(包括褪黑素补充剂和缬草提取物),国立卫生研究所的失眠共识委员会于2005年得出结论,显示其效果极为微弱。而且谢福思还提到褪黑素、缬草和相似物质,“没有人对这些原料加以规定。”
