Dream Water Sleep Powder, $34.99 for 30 servings These single-serving packets include three active ingredients: GABA, 5-hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP) and, you guessed it, melatonin. 5-HTP is an amino acid that aids in serotonin production, and it's usually prescribed to help young children with night terrors. When used with GABA, a neurotransmitter that keeps your nervous system from getting too excited, researchers have found that it helps improve the quality and length of sleep, while also helping people fall asleep faster.
The powder can be added to hot or cold drinks 30 minutes before sleep, or you can just down it straight, like a sleepytime Pixy Stix powder. In fact, the powder (aptly named 'snoozeberry') tastes like the sugary confection, too. The powder form is especially convenient for redeye flights -- no extra liquids in your suitcase, or your bladder.
