Top 10 Best Natural Sleep Aids & Herbal Sleeping Supplements (2022)

OUR #1 RATED - Nested Naturals Luna Sleep Aid

I am first going to start off with Nested Naturals Luna Sleep Aid because this is the one I take. I take it because it contains the nutrients my body needs to help promote sleep. Those nutrients are hops, passionflower, chamomile, Valerian root, lemon balm, GABA, an amino acid, magnesium and melatonin.

Not only do these ingredients help promote sleep, but they also work wonders on relieving my migraine headaches and panic attacks while supporting and strengthening the immune and nervous systems of the body.

RUNNER UP - Physician's Choice

I have tried Physician’s Choice Sleep Aid with Valerian Root as well and it does work wonders when the brain doesn’t want to shut off due to stress. However, it doesn’t always knock me out.

It is more or less designed to promote relaxation with a blend of nutrients that support brain and body calmness, which helps you achieve falling asleep a bit easier.

The nutrients in this sleep aid that help work with the body to promote deep relaxation and can help ease you into a deep sleep are an amino acid called suntheanine, melatonin, valerian root, chamomile and vitamin B6. These ingredients are packed into tiny rice flour made gel capsules making this a vegan friendly sleep supplement.

Best Fast sleep - The Genius Brand

If your sleeping issues are caused by adrenal health problems, which you can find out with a simple blood test than the Genius Brand Smart Sleeping Pills might be worth trying out. I would however talk to a doctor before using these ones to make sure it is your adrenal gland causing you issues and sleep disturbances.

The way the Genius Sleep Aid pills works is by providing your body with a blend of nutrients that support healthy adrenal function. Those nutrients are L-Glycine, L-Theanine, Rutaecarpine, Inositol, and Melatonin. Not only do they support the adrenal gland, but they help with promoting a better mood and easing away anxiety and stress headaches.

With that said this supplement works the best when you take it for 5 nights in a row and take 2 nights off. This helps regulate your adrenal gland and helps teach your body how to eventually fall asleep on its own by helping your body heal the adrenal system naturally.

Best Gummy- OLLY Sleep Melatonin Gummy

For those of you that have a hard time swallowing supplements these Olly Sleep Melatonin Gummies are for you. They contain a blend of nutrients that help ease you to sleep naturally and they taste like grape jelly, but you can get them in flavors.

I personally have tried them because I hate swallowing supplements and found them tasty. However, they didn’t help me fall asleep.

With that said, they do promote natural deep relaxation and they do work well for people who have mild sleeping issues. The ingredients in these gummies that help with deep relaxation of the mind and body are L-Theanine and botanicals like chamomile and lemon Balm.

Best for Kids- Luna Kids

Anyone who is super sensitive to sleeping aid supplements and always find themselves drowsy even after a full night of sleep would do great with the Luna Kids Sleep Aid Tablets.

I have given this supplement to my 4 year old who just won't go to sleep and they do help her calm down and fall asleep about an hour after taking one. With that said adults might need to take two in order to achieve sleepiness.

When I first started taking sleeping supplements before I decided to visit a natural path doctor I gave just straight melatonin a try. One of the first melatonin supplements I took was the Vitafusion Extra Strength Melatonin Gummy Vitamins.

I loved that all you had to do to take them was chew them up. At first these supplements worked well, but I think my body got used to the dose and just stopped working as well for me.

Remember, what might not work for some people may work for you. Everyone’s body responds differently to different supplements and remedies.
