Numark Night Time Sleep Aid Tablets are a remedy for sleepless nights. 

They help you fall into the first drowsy stage of sleep faster, ensuring a good night’s sleep that lasts all night, making sure you are well-rested for the busy day ahead.

How Numark Night Time Sleep Aid Tablets work

Numark Night Time Sleep Aid Tablets contain the active ingredient diphenhydramine hydrochloride, which is a drowsy antihistamine.

It blocks the production of histamine in your body. Histamine stimulates the arousal-promoting areas of your brain, so blocking histamine makes you feel sleepy and helps you to drop off into a restful sleep that will last all night long.
