A 2017 review of the research in theexamined 46 studies in an attempt to recommend clinical guidelines for treating insomnia.

However, as Dr. Pelayo points out, how you react to a certain drug is pretty individual, and it’s possible that you might react more strongly due to the placebo effect of taking something you believe will make you sleepy.“It’s very attractive to people because it’s an over-the-counter medication,” says Dr. Rapoport. “It’s [seen as] a quick and dirty way to fix your insomnia.”
