Yes. There have been many times in my life when I've taken otc sleep aids. There used to be something called "Simply Sleep" - the stuff was terrific as far as keeping me asleep all night. I guess it's not made anymore 'cause I never see it.
I use ZZZQuil now and then - used it for 5 nights last week because I was desperate for sleep. I find that it helps me to fall asleep, but doesn't do much (if anything) to keep me asleep throughout the night.
The good part of the otc's are that they don't have a hangover effect.
People keep telling me to try melatonin and/or valerian root. I guess I will one of these days.
