- Abstract
Insomnia is caused by a myriad of factors and can be very disruptive to a person's quality of life and health. When people see a health care provider, often a thorough assessment occurs and people are given various treatment options that include lifestyle interventions, medications, and/or cognitive behavior therapy. There are also many people that may choose to take over the counter or herbal medications as a remedy for insomnia. While there are many supplements that claim to have sleep benefits, clinical data supporting such claims are not always present. This article will briefly discuss the three most common herbal supplements taken for insomnia: melatonin, valerian, and lavender.
