Most of them work very well... they just work in different ways.
Basically, supplements give your body nutrition it's otherwise lacking, so the "best one for you" will mostly depend on what nutrition your body is lacking or what is causing the problem of sleeplessness.
Of the most popular natural sleep aids, there's Melatonin, Valerian, Chamomile, Hops, L-Tryptophan, L-Theanine, Passionflower, and Scullcap (an herb). Some of them help to support Serotonin production (like Melatonin and Tryptophan) and some of them relax the body (like Valerian and Theanine)... but like I mentioned, it depends on what your body needs.
also important to note is that Serotonin is the hormone that regulates both the sleeping and the waking cycles, so if you get too much Serotonin in your body, it can actually wake you up instead of put you to sleep. Unfortunately, too many people treat Melatonin and others like OTC sleep aids and think that if they take more, they'll sleep faster/longer/whatever, so it's important to note that... also to make sure you don't take Melatonin if your Serotonin levels are high.
also, Melatonin is generally not recommended for those under 16, but sometimes they are recommended by doctors for specific medical conditions.
Good luck!
