What is a non-prescription sleeping pill?
Many prescription sleep aids can have unpleasant side effects. That's why more and more people are looking for natural alternatives, such as supplements.
These tablets or capsules contain ingredients that occur naturally on earth and can contribute to a good night's sleep in a gentle but effective way.
Types of over-the-counter sleep aids
Natural over-the-counter sleep aids are popular in the Netherlands and worldwide and offer various ways to support sleep.
These resources can be divided into three main categories:
1. Sleepers
For those who spend hours staring at the ceiling before falling asleep, there are natural sleep aids. The active ingredients in these supplements are often naturally occurring in the body, such as melatonin, the natural sleep hormone that contributes to a natural sleep-wake rhythm.
2. Peacemakers
As support during busy or stressful times, natural tranquilizers can aid relaxation. Commonly used herbs and plant extracts in tranquilizers include valerian, chamomile, and passionflower.
3. Support
Supplements containing B vitamins (such as B3, B6 and B12), magnesium and zinc can contribute to a better night's sleep by providing the body with essential nutrients that support the sleep rhythm.

Tips for better sleep
For those who have trouble falling asleep, I have a few more helpful tips. Try these techniques before, or while, taking over-the-counter natural sleep aids:
Tip 1: Try the 4-7-8 Breathing Technique
This simple yet powerful breathing technique can help you relax and fall asleep faster.
Inhale through your nose for 4 seconds, hold your breath for 7 seconds, and then exhale slowly through your mouth for 8 seconds. Repeat this a few times to slow your heart rate and prepare your body for rest.
Tip 2: Write down your worries
Keep a notebook next to your bed and write down everything that's bothering you or on your mind before bed. This can help clear your mind and let go of worries, making it easier to fall asleep. Putting your thoughts on paper creates mental calm and reduces worry.
Tip 3: Use a reverse to-do list
Instead of making a list of things you still need to do, make a list of what you've already accomplished that day. This gives you a sense of satisfaction and helps you end the day on a positive note, allowing you to fall asleep relaxed and with peace of mind.
