35 things that instantly make it easier to get good sleep

These natural veggie capsules by The Genius Brand do a few things to help you sleep better at night. For starters, each serving — aka two capsules — contains .5 milligrams of melatonin. However, each serving also utilizes an ingredient called rutaecarpine that helps your body process and eliminate caffeine before bedtime, along with two different amino acids to help you relax.

Not only do these blackberry-flavored chewy supplements include 3 milligrams of melatonin per serving (two gummies), but they also use natural botanical ingredients to help you relax easier, including lemon balm, passionflower, and chamomile extracts. Similar to the veggie capsules by The Genius Brand, these also use the amino acid L-theanine to help promote relaxation.
