I seem to have a sleep disorder. I've tried many sleep aids over the years. I finally gave up and asked my doctor for Ambien. It worked for me, but it's not worth the risk. In desperation I tried Natrol's Melatonin. It works! I can't believe it! Off to dream land....zzzzz. Will definitely buy again. Taking Melatonin along with GABA bought at http://goo.gl/scFhv which allows me to go straight back to sleep. Conversely if my dog wakes me and wants to go out, I am instantly wide awake and can get up, go outside, without feeling groggy, and still go back to bed and instantly fall asleep again.

Melatonin is a sleep hormone in our body and it helps to monitor sleep cycle. Melatonin can only be produced by the body in the absence of light simulation. You will find that it is always easier to fall asleep in absolute darkness. Melatonin is one of the most powerful anti oxidant produced naturally by our body that can cross blood brain barrier and other parts easily, boost other antioxidants, boost our immune system , regulates inflammation, prevent cancer, regulates other hormones, controls weight gain, prevent heart diseases, lower high cholesterol level and many others! In current society, there is too much artificial lighting that prevents us from having a deep sleep. Added with frequent time zone travelling, irregular sleeping hours due to work etc and late supper, nobody is really sleeping properly these days and producing enough melatonin. That’s why it’s important to take melatonin regularly. Pricewise, this is definitely value for money for 6 months supply. It is wise not to take melatonin daily as it might affect your own melatonin production so this bottle can last a long time! The caps are made of gelatin (not for vegetarian), not too big and easy to swallow. It comes with filler like rice flour (extra work for the stomach I guess). I find that 3mg is just nice for me and works within 30 min if taken on an empty stomach. Another important benefit is that if you suddenly find that you need to do something after taking melatonin, you easily stay awake without feeling sleepy or drowsy (like when you take medication or sleeping pill). A downside is that this melatonin is absorbed quickly and metabolized so sometimes I find myself awake after 4-5 hours of restful sleep. It can be a problem if you are awake much earlier than your regular waking hours and can't sleep anymore. Check out my page for more reviews!

This product did what sleeping pills couldn't: gave me healthy, normal sleep without any dizziness or fatigue the day after. I have had difficulties falling asleep since forever and I seldom get the normal feeling of being tired and wanting to sleep at night - usually I go hyperactive and have hundreds of things going on in my head when I should be sleeping. My body can't tell if it's day or night (especially when it's wintertime - I live in Northern Europe, where it's dark almost all the time in the winter) and obviously needs some help recognizing sleeping hours. Without any help it takes me 2 to 3 hours to fall asleep. With melatonin I don't need to stay awake for long - I take the capsule one hour before bedtime and it takes 30 minutes max to fall asleep after I go to bed, usually not even that long. I think this is exactly what I need and will definitely keep using this product in the future as well.

I have also used the 1mg NOW tablets and have to say the 1mg are more effective even though they are time released. 3 mg never seem to take effect.
