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.

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

I turned to this product when i became concerned that I was relying too heavily on harmful sleep aids and things like tylenol pm to help me sleep. I have always had insomnia and feel like it is a constant battle trying to find something safe to help me sleep. While this doesnt give me the extreme drowsiness of the other medications, it does nicely lull me to sleep its just in a different way it seems. Gentler. However because of its gentleness, a rather hyped up mood can seem to completely counteract its affects leaving you not sleepy at all. Calm down before bed and before taking it by watching a movie or reading and then take it and it should work.

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.

none
