re: Natural sleep aid recommendation for people

Benadryl.

Eta: My bad. I did not read thoroughly, and gave a boneheaded suggestion.

Wife and I have had success with sleepytime extra teas, which combine herbs like valerian and chamomile into a pretty tasty tea. Plus the warmth is pretty relaxing, but as always, ymmv.

I dunno how natural supplementing a mineral like magnesium is considered, but adding magnesium glycinate has helped us as well. Not so much to put us to sleep, but helps with relaxation to get to sleep.
