Nature's Way Melatonin Lozenge (100 Lozenges)

We got this for my 4 year old, she doesn't get to bed until 12-1am and she won't go w/out her mommy. I got very frustrated w/ having to sit there on the floor next to her bed for up to 90 min. every night so I got this to try. Now, say what you want about my parenting, I personally have always had trouble falling asleep at night since I was a small child and don't typically enjoy going to sleep until I'm good and ready which usually happens to be when the first rays of the Sun start to fill the sky. Anyway, 1 pill makes her actually want to get in bed and she's out within a half hour at most. We can actually SEE it working within 10-15 mins, complete change in her energetic state. Even a half pill seems sufficient to make her want to get in her own bed. I don't want to give it to her all the time and it does not keep her asleep the whole night, typically she only sleeps for 4 hours before waking and having to put her back in bed. My husband says 1 pill works for him & makes him drowsy too. I've taken up to 5 at once and not had it make me tired but if I just sit there and watch TV, I probably could fall asleep on the couch haven taken 4 or more. If I take them and wash dishes and do my typical night cleaning (i.e. I'm up and about) then they seem to have no effect on me. If I take several and watch TV to the point I start getting tired but then get up do things, I'm no longer tired. If I take 4 or 5 when I'm at someone else's house and I'm forced to lay there, then it seems to help me get to sleep...until my husband starts snoring. With ear plugs in I might actually be able to sleep through it if I fall asleep before he starts, which would be due to the melatonin. So, it does work but depending on your unique body/mind complex, it can be easily overwritten. I give it 5 stars b/c I know it works for some and it's dirt cheap so if it doesn't work for you, you won't have wasted a ton of money finding that out.

I've tried more melatonin brands than I can count and this is the only one that works well for me. Most brands are swallowable, I like how this brand has it dissolve under your tongue. This will forever be my go-to melatonin!

As I have gotten older I find sleep harder and harder to get good solid amounts of. So far I have only found one melatonin that works for me and my kids and that's the Natrol brand melatonin. I have to take three to four to feel the effects and wait around an hour or more. Which isn't a big deal since I just take it sooner in the night. The issue I do have also is my kids aren't affected by it. My six year old is Autistic and find it essential to make sure she has help sleeping since we don't want to medicate her. This brand did nothing for her even when I varied her usage of it. I know it has good effects from the reviews I have read but it simply didn't do it for us. I can take half or so of the Natrol brand and be feeling it around fifteen minutes later. With this brand I had a couple of times it made me very restless and I had a rough night of sleep punching the pillow and making frustrating growling sounds. So far nothing beats the Natrol brand for me but as far as I can tell from the reviews it must be good for some people just not me.Get you a bottle and it might work or it may not. I will continue my search for the perfect melatonin to finally complete me and the perfect night of sleep will happen some day. Someone assured me that death is probably the best melatonin tablet but I have to wait on that to verify it. Not sure how my Amazon review will look either so keep your eyes open for it.

I have Fibromyalgia/CFIDS and do not get into deep restorative stages of sleep, have frequent interruptions, and generally sleep poorly. I have tried prescription drugs (horrific side-effects) and various other natural supplements to help with sleep. Nothing has worked in 15 years, or if it worked for a short period, it quickly became ineffective. I also tried another brand of Melatonin years ago, and that did not work.I decided to give Melatonin another try. I like Nature's Way products generally and believe them to be a company with high standards of purity and potency.This product is a God-send. Not only has it helped with sleep, it completely eliminated the migraines I suffered with for about 17 years. No more migraines!! Apparently Melatonin's ability to help migraine in some people has been known (I found research later that discussed this), but I was unaware of it.One tablet, under the tongue, as soon as I climb into bed, and usually within 20 minutes I am off to sleep and can get a good 4 solid hours before the first awakening. I highly recommend this brand.UPDATE September 20, 2013: These are still working! Most everything else I've tried to help with sleep dysregulation either caused nasty side-effects or stopped working after a short time. This melatonin product knocks me out and keeps me sleeping for 4 hours before I have my first waking.

Our family has used melatonin for many years now off and on to help with sleep. Nature's Way makes a great passion fruit flavor and is much cheaper than other brands, but with great quality.Melatonin works fast (sublingual - absorbed under your tongue quickly into your body) usually within about a few minutes to make you naturally drowsy. I fall asleep much faster with it. I cut these in half with a pill cutter and that usually works for me. Melatonin doesn't work too well if you're really having a hard time sleeping - you ate a heavy salty meal too late, you're really frustrated or worried about something, your body is aching or hurting, etc. But otherwise it can really help you get to sleep faster and sleep deeper. It helps a lot during allergy season too when sneezing can wake me up. It seems to work for four hours, so if I wake up during the night and need one, I make sure there is at least four more hours before I have to wake up, otherwise I am extremely drowsy until it wears off.I've also heard it works very well for travelers dealing with time zone changes.
