Source Naturals NightRest with Melatonin - Multi Nutrient and Herb Complex - 200 Tablets

It works! I use just one tablet and sleep like a log. Also this gives me some adventurous dreams!

There are a couple of issues that I wanted a sleep aid to address: 1) getting to sleep, and 2) staying asleep. This Nightrest stuff helps with both, better than the other stuff I had been taking, viz. Schiff's Melatonin Plus, which I think is a very good product as well. But that product did just OK for 1) (but a big improvement over nothing) and not so well for 2). Both products seemed to produce vivid dreams. That seems to be somewhat common with Melatonin. In my case, its a plus. I like weird dreams. My wife does not like that effect so much, so she avoids Melatonin. Since I travel a lot, I also need to address a third issue: namely jetlag. The Schiff helped me with that too, and I really missed it on my last trip to Europe (from SFO). I just forgot to pack it. I suspect this stuff will help as well. We'll see, as I haven't tried it yet, except just when I got back. Then it worked great. But as most people know, the big challenge is the 9 hour time difference after the Eastward hop. Both products seem to not cause me hangover or grogginess problems in the morning. Once I get my coffee, I am good to go. One thing I wonder about is the other stuff in each product. In the Schiff Melatonin Plus you get L-Theanine, an amino acid that increases GABA in the brain. In NightRest you get GABA itself plus a few other active ingredients. One other thing that could explain some of the differences is the method of dosing: with the Schiff stuff you take 2 small pills sublingually, and you get a pretty quick hit and noticeable effects after 20 minutes. But perhaps it does not last as long. With the Nightrest, you swallow two honking big pills. But perhaps that is the reason it lasts longer? Dunno. I do know that the first time I took Melatonin, pure, I did not take it sublingually. It didn't work well. So, I think this product is definitely worth trying. Messing with your brain chemicals is bound to have different effects for different people. I like to stick with amino acid supplements and well studied hormones like Melatonin. Nightrest may be as good as it gets, at least for me.

I love this stuff! I have been using Ambien for months now and often felt groggy during the day so I really wanted to get off of it as a regular thing and just use it for really bad nights. I know from experience that it's hard to go cold-turkey though, since without drugs it takes me forever to fall asleep. On prior attempts to get off the Ambien I used a Valerian-based sleep blend recommended by my acupuncturist, and while this is relaxing it didn't really help me get to sleep if I had any anxiety at all. So this time I did some more research and decided to try melatonin to replace the Ambien. I picked the Night Rest because it had the highest melatonin amount in the recommended dose (2 tablets contain 5mg). So I took the recommended 2 tablets of Night Rest and was pleasantly surprised that I felt really sleepy after about 45 minutes. I couldn't keep my eyes open and slept through the night. I did feel a little groggy in the morning but I slept - yay! After a couple nights of this knocking me out I tried 1 tablet instead of 2 and that didn't really do the trick. I may try 1.5 and see how that goes but when I went back to 2 tablets it worked great. I didn't think that a non-prescription substitute would work as well as the Ambien, but so far I'm thrilled with the Night Rest. I haven't tried other melatonin pills yet since most have less than the 5mg included in this product, but I'm sold on the stuff and imagine I will continue to use it for the foreseeable future.

This is the BEST sleep aid ever!! I have tried several others and this one is the best by far and it even works better for me than Tylenol PM. Within an hour of taking it, I am very sleepy and get a good nights rest.

We love this natural sleep method. My husband and I both take it every night. It's non-addictive and you wake up refreshed 7 hours later. Highly recommend.

NO, NO, NO! Did I remember to say NO?! While this product knocked me straight out, I felt absolutely horrible all the next day. It caused me to feel drugged and so extremely tired that I couldn't function at all. I tried only taking 1 tab but still got the same horrible results. BEWARE!!
