Melatonin may be RX-only, where you live (I don't know)
Bananas contain melatonin; you might have one before bed.
Herbal teas containing St. John's wort or feverfew may help, if you can get them.

Google is a wonderful thing.

No, melatonin is by script only in the UK.


Cheers,

Melatonin is not a licensed medicine in the UK, but it is available on prescription
