I have difficulty sleeping at night. I have had sleeping problems for years. After hearing many of my friends sing the praises of Melatonin, I decided to give Melatonin a try. I can report that it did make me very sleepy. I did fall asleep very fast but work up around three in the morning and could not get back to sleep. I was actually wide awake and felt like I had slept all night long. Except it was three in the morning. I wasscared to take another pill so I stayed in bed feeling absolutely miserable. I tried everything I could think of to help me fall back asleep but nothing worked. I felt like a zombie the entire day. I had huge circles under my eyes and looked horrible. Several co-workers actually asked me if I was feeling alright. I thought it may be a one time occurrence so a week later I tried taking Melatonin again with the exact same results. I can say that these pills did make me go to sleep but they really messed with my sleep patterns.

This is an all natural sleep aid that I turn to from time to time when I am in need of more restful sleep at night. Every once in a while, I will go through a pattern of restless nights where I wake up every one to two hours. Be it from stress, diet, or whatever is causing the sleeplessness, melatonin is very helpful in getting me a good nights sleep. It gives me pure, peaceful sleep, with no strange dreams or any other strange side effects that can come with other sleep aids. The only minor side effect is, I do feel just a little bit foggy and disoriented upon waking from one of these nights I have used melatonin. It is nothing that lasts though, and does not impair my ability to go about my daily tasks in the least bit. I do find that I have to use it sporadically though, because I can build up an immunity to it and it loses it's potent effect after too much use. I do not using it sparingly because of worry of forming any addiction or habit to it, as it is all natural and non addictive.

Keeping in mind that these sorts of weird supplements tend to have vastly differing effects on different people, I will put forth my two cents and share my personal experience with these. I primarily use these in order to get my sleeping schedule back on track after extraneous circumstances such as late night studying or all night partying. One tablet is enough to knock me down and out for anywhere from eight to thirteen hours. Obviously, they work exceedingly well on me, even a little too well sometimes I'd say. I would advise taking them with caution, preferably on those nights of tossing and turning where waking up early isn't necessary.

So after many sleepless nights, I decided to purchase this brand of Melatonin. This product works really well. I have been using it on and off for several months now. I generally take it thirty minutes before I need to sleep. What I love about it is that I can wake up in the morning and not have the drowsy after effects. I experienced those very often when using Tylonel PM and Advil PM. My body didn't want to move in the morning. I find that with taking Nature Made Malatonin, I wake up refreshed. I have even taken it as late as 3 am and still been able to wake up the next morning at 8 am with no side effects. This supplement has really helped me to get to sleep at night and I am so glad that the side effects are so minor, at least for me when compared to other prescription based sleeping medicines out there. I also find the price to be just right too as they're often buy one get one free at the major drugstores and there are 180 pills in each bottle so they last a long time.

I take Nature Made Melatonin every single night. It is Fantastic~ I was on a prescription sleep aid and I started taking the melatonin; and it is way better.I would recommend this to anyone that has trouble sleeping through the night. Worked wonders for me and I am still taking it. Thank's, Nature Made.

This product really does promote sleep. Put me to sleep within minutes, but I felt like I could barely get up in the morning. It took all my strength to pull myself out of bed and then I felt tired all day. As soon as I stopped taking it, I felt fine but I would like to find a product that works this well without the side effects. I would not recommend this product simply because the groggy/tired feeling is a little too overwhelming to really be useful. It is hard to get up and get going in the morning which causes a problem for being able to do work/your normal activities during the day. I really don't think it is worth it. However, those with severe sleep problems may want to try it if they feel the groggy/iredness the product causes is less of a concern than there lack of sleep which is fine but for a regular individual, I cannot recommend this product. Hope this review helps someone.
