There are lots of sleep aids that aren’t addictive.

Are there? I thought anything that is a sleep aid could lead to dependency?

I take some melatonin from the health supplements store... not every night but say one in three nights and this is mostly to stay on a consistent sleep pattern. Very mild but seems to work and it certainly isn’t addictive.

Melatonin is pretty safe.

There’s herbal stuff that has various combinations of chamomile, lemon balm, valerian root, hops, melatonin and so on. If you took it too often it might create mild dependency as far as sleep, but not addiction per se like opioids do for some people.

Or....just a tumbler of hooch. But then you have the dependency risk there too.
