Source Naturals NutraSleep, Gentle Sleep Support Without Melatonin* - 40 Tablets

This uses GABA which acts on the same receptors alcohol does without being poisonous like alcohol. It calms you down, lowers anxiety and helps you fall asleep. I definitely feel it has helped me get deeper sleep, but I also use it in conjunction with Zzzquil and that combination has been working really well for me. Currently I'm doing 2 NutraSleep pills with 15ML of Zzzquil, which isn't much of both but together I get very good sleep. Usually I'm able to stay asleep all night with this combination but even then I occasionally wake up early and I want to be able to stay asleep all 8 hours consistently. I may look into other options for but now I really like this. Getting good and deep sleep is the most important thing in your life for staying happy and healthy. Diet and stress management are also extremely important. You shouldn't brush off sleep like it will just happen or that it doesn't matter; if you aren't getting good sleep you should find ways to fix it, either on your own or if you need supplements then find something weak and safe and work your way up. Be careful and research because you can do it wrong, especially with prescription drugs. Even melatonin can be wrongly used. NutraSleep is a relatively safe and effective option from what I can tell. Edit: I want to amend this review to give my current perspective. Some time in November I stopped taking sleeping aids altogether because I realized I was just becoming reliant on them. Sometimes I felt dead inside the day after taking Zzzquil, and I didn't like relying on the Nutrasleep and believed that maybe I could find other ways to recover. Of course, if you really cannot sleep without aids or need a temporary fix for an emergency issue with sleep, then do your best to find the right one(s) and use them responsibly. But I want to admit now that part of my issue that I'm 99% sure of is that if I go to sleep too late (past 4am) I get lower quality sleep due to lack of darkness, and in the past I rarely if ever went to sleep past 3 or 4am. I'm currently working to get better blinds or maybe a sleep mask, but it's still just better in general for me to go to sleep earlier even though I work evenings. For a couple weeks recently I was waking up around 10am and felt super energized and balanced during that time. For context, I went through a lot of suffering during fall 2019 due to sleep and health issues issues and believe I'm starting to get better and recover from that. I'm also learning that the body and mind can recover from pretty traumatic and stressful experiences but you shouldn't subject yourself to them if you can avoid them. Also if you're looking into other supplements for health, I now rely on 100% dark baker's chocolate (no sugar added, from the baking isle) and some of the Yogi teas, specifically the Honey Lavender Stress Relief tea. If anyone ever approaches me about things to help them manage daily stress and pain I just recommend these two things and also mention a variety of vegetables and anti-oxidants. Also in-door air quality matters a lot but I won't get into that here. People have already responded to me about the dark chocolate working on them, but not just any dark, the no-sugar added 100% dark. It tastes bitter, but I absolutely swear on it now and have been using it daily for months. A couple pieces should get you through a tough day and it might really be the magic bullet for stress you've been looking for. It feels strange to say, but I live every day content with my life now and that wasn't the case for a long time. The lack of stress has allowed my mind to be in a habit of upholding positive experiences and thoughts, and that has also improved my social life. It's all a feedback loop that keeps me from falling back into anxiety and pain.

to relax, calm and allows person to fall asleep naturally and wake up refreshed and invigorated for a new day

As good as these sleep supplemnts get. Works, 30 minutes before bed and im done. Have a tolerence and even taking a few on powerful sleepness nights usually willl do the trick.

First off, these are horse pills. I'm talking top digit of your pinkie horse pills. Second off, the suggested dosage is FOUR pills. That's a lot to start with, but if they worked I'd probably be able to take 2 and call it again. But, I have no idea because I opened the bottle and it smelled like nasty cheese. I'm also not one of those people that are new to natural remedies, so I know they aren't going to smell the most neutral, but that's too much. All in all I will be throwing these out. Too many things wrong with them.

These pills have changed my life. They help me fall asleep and stay asleep. They are more effective than expected. Great product. One con is that the pills are rather large to swallow.

They changed the product label, did the product also change? I got my new bottle and took it same as usual. It has been a really helpful product for me for quite a while. But since I started this new bottle, I started waking up after a few hours of sleep (after taking it as normal) with my heart pounding hard! I didn’t relate the two at first, but after thinking about it I realized it did start to happen after I started the new bottle. And after trying to figure out why it was happening (was I not drinking enough water, etc.) I stated to think maybe it was this. Which I hope not, as I use this every night. I do know that sometimes when a company changes its packaging, the product is also changed. So, is the formula different? Has their ingredient suppliers changed? ... It had never happened to me before, and I have been taking it for a long time. In fairness, it may be something else going on with me. But I am going to stop taking it for now and see if it continues to happen. I just wanted others to be aware and also wonder if any had similar issues. ... I will update as to whether stopping the product made a difference. I just hope I can sleep. Because it always helped me with no side affects, before. ... I am getting afraid to go to sleep now and wake up like that! And I hope they DIDN’T change any ingredient or are sourcing it from another place that may have effected the product. ... I will come back and edit one way or another. ~Cathy C.

Great, strongly suggest

They work. But I noticed a hangover in the form of a withdrawal effect the next morning. I'm extra sensitive to GABAergics though, and this product has loads of them. Which may or may not be such a potential "bad thing".
