I have severe anxiety that often has lead me to many a sleepless night. While most of my college years I took various sleep aids, it was in my final year that my roommate suggested trying Melatonin. I never felt like I was "knocked out," but I rather I was able to get a natural feeling good night's sleep.

Natural, affordable, no prescription, and it actually works.

Even though it is a natural sleep aid, one is still introducing a substance into your body to enduce sleep. |

This melatoin works well at helping you sleep naturally. I have insomnia and this product helps me sleep without knocking me out and making me feel drowsy the next morning.
Date Purchased: 8/2008
Price Paid: $8
Recommend: Yes |
Pros:
I like that it is natural and I don't worry about growing dependent on it or side effects like with sleeping pills. It also feels more like naturally falling asleep and doesn't cause drowsiness the next day.
Cons:
It doesn't always work for me. Probably 75% of the time it helps me sleep but sometimes it doesn't. |

I've used several brands of melatonin and don't see any real difference between them. I was an extremely sound sleeper until my oldest daughter, then six months old, woke me by her breathing stopping. I picked her up and shook her and she resumed breathing, but stopped twice more on the way to the hospital. She's 45 now, but my body still tries to stay alert when I want it to go to sleep. Melatonin helps me to get to sleep and stay asleep. It is a good product, especially for people who must avoid the sun and therefore do not make their own melatonin.

I went to this product after having major problems with ambien. While it took my body awhile to readjust, I think Nature's Bounty Melatonin made a huge difference for me. I suffer from chronic pain and any natural product that I can take to replace a pharmaceutical is a relief.

I use Melatonin on an occasional basis as an alternative to regular sleep aids. I have found it works great! It takes a small amount and helps me relax for the whole night. It does make me feel a little drowsy the next day but it wears off and I do not use Melatonin daily.
Date Purchased: June 2008
Price Paid: $6
Recommend: Yes |
Pros:
It lasts for the whole night! I experience less side effects with Melatonin than with traditional sleeping pills.
Cons:
It does make me feel a little drowsy the following morning. |

I've used Melatonin for quite awhile. It helps me fall asleep but doesn't give me that "hung over" feeling in the morning. It easily lets go of you so you can go about your day with a good night's rest.
Date Purchased: 08/2008
Price Paid: $7
Recommend: Yes |
Pros:
Natural sleep aid without a prescription of the stigma of using "sleeping pills"
Cons:
There's nothing I don' t like about this product |

I had been having problems sleeping at night for a while. I have a very fast paced, stressful life with two teenage boys. I tried other products, but this one has helped me relax and be able to get a decent nights sleep. Itr's also a natural product that doesn't make me feel tired in the mornings.

Inexpensive

Being a woman, I have those occasional nights where I have a hard time falling asleep. After discussing it with my sister-in-law she recommended Melatonin. she took it for a year before it stopped helping her sleep. I think it works great, I usually take it a half hour before bedtime and before I know it I am sleeping not laying awake!
Date Purchased: 10/2008
Price Paid: $9
Recommend: Yes |
Pros:
I like how it is all natural.
It is inexpensive.
Cons:
Just like sleeping pills, you need to take it when you will get 8 hours of sleep or you will be drowsy. |
