The Bottom Line: If lack of Melatonin is the only reason you are not able to fall asleep and stay asleep, then I suppose this product may work for you. It did absolutely nothing for me. I have not slept well in the last two years and I have tried Melatonin, Valerian root, and other sleep aids, and Melatonin is by far the one product that has failed the most miserably in helping me fall asleep and stay asleep. I do appreciate the fact that it is a completely natural product (thumbs up there) but the simple fact is that sometimes, natural does not work. This has been the case for me, unfortunately. I suppose it cannot hurt to take this Nature's Bounty Melatonin, but if you have really problems falling asleep, turning off your thoughts before bed time, and most importantly, staying asleep throughout the night, I do not believe this product will help you. I have gone a different route and after trying just about every over the counter sleep aid on the market, I am now using diphenhydramine and that is the only thing that has helped me so far.

I first picked up Nature's Bounty Melatonin 3 mg a couple of years ago. My parents recommended I try it for a trip to Europe and I was very impressed. I had an overnight flight and used it on the plane and I actually slept well on the plane. That NEVER happens to me! Once I arrived at my destination, I used the melatonin for my first few nights and slept wonderfully each night, almost completely eliminating jet lag. I really recommend melatonin for travel; it's a life saver. Nature's Bounty seems like an excellent brand; their product works very well for me. The little white pills are easy to swallow and do not have any bad taste. Although I primarily use Nature's Bounty Melatonin for travel, I also occasionally use it when I have to work late. Usually, when I work until 9 pm or later, it takes me ages to get to sleep once I get home. It just takes a long time to unwind from work. Melatonin helps me with that problem a lot; I take a pill as soon as I get home and within half an hour or so I am very relaxed and sleepy and ready to go to bed. I don't use melatonin on a regular basis because I am slightly worried about it becoming habit-forming. Because I use it sparingly - just on trips and a couple of times a month for work - I've never had any problems with it becoming a habit. I've also never had problems with drowsiness the next day. It's just a great aid for the occasional need I have for help with sleep.

Worked really well for about 2 months, when I started feeling very sluggish and depressed.. I researched it a bit and found out when used for long periods, it can cause these symptoms. Might have taken only 4-6 wks for these symptoms but Because of the symptoms it took me awhile to find the cause. So, just beware.

I find myself awake at midnight almost every night because I can not fall asleep. I do have a lot of coffee in the morning, so I have a feeling that is the problem. But, because I need my sleep, I asked a friend about melatonin and she offered to give me a tablet or two to try. It worked when I tried it and so I went out and bought two bottles the next day. This stuff is great; it's cheap and I like it. Sometimes, however, it may not be helpful. It is probably not the melatonin, but who knows. Anyone who wants to sleep faster and longer should try these. You will not regret it. I've used this product for over 2 years and I will continue to use this product. Nature's Bounty Melatonin is very useful and it is awesome!

I frequently have problems falling and staying asleep from the pressures of the day that keep going round and round in my head that I cannot seem to turn off. I have tried many ways...counting, visualizing (definately does not work for me) and other over the counter suppliments. I am not a big fan of medication but have found that Nature's Bounty Melatonin is effective in helping me put aside my daily worries and stresses. I was reluctant to try it at first, but it is the best thing I could have done and now always have it on hand for those nights when I just cannot get to sleep.

This is a natural supplement that your body normally produces. It is extremely safe to use and should not cause side effects. I would reccomend this for anyone experiencing sleeping disturbances or insomnia. This is much safer than other sleeping aids such as allergy medication and other precription products. I was first introduced to this product by the way of a Dr that was treating my autistic daughter. The Doctor reccomendid this product to help get her body back on rythym. It does the trick very well. It works good with kids as long as you get the doctors ok to use the product and the correct dosage. Meletonin also has oither health benefits as well. This product works very quickly, and it gives you a very peaceful sleep. THis product can be found at large chain stores and many drugstores as well. Check out the natural supplement isle. What most people don't worry enough about is harmful side effects of medication. There is no chance of this becoming habit forming sucha s with many prescription drugs.

Nature's Bounty Melatonin (120 tablets, 3 mg) is a miracle remedy for my insomnia. I've tried other products, and even other brands of melatonin, but none seemed to work for my constant and seemingly hopeless insomnia during the nights. Most kept me awake with a kind of drugged and groggy feeling. This supplement not only provides a healthy nights sleep but it also calms a person down with a comfortable and relaxing, sleep inducing therapy. At It also a great and comforting feeling that you don't have to rely on any prescription drugs in order to get that important eight hour sleep during the night. This melatonin variety also doesn't leave you with a hungover feeling the next morning. Waking up is easy! I am so glad I heard about Nature's Bounty Melatonin, because it saved me from visiting the doctor and getting hooked on a prescription sleep aid, which is something that i wouldn't desire to add into my lifestyle. Buy it, today!

Nature's Bounty Melatonin is extremely necessary and wonderful! Necessary, that is, once you reach a certain age...LOL As we age, we need to supplement our melatonin because the body doesn't produce as much and so we cannot sleep as well as we used to when we were younger. I know that I need to take it nightly in order to get my much needed beauty rest. If I don't take it, I wake up hourly, sometimes I may be lucky and sleep two to three hours without waking. However, I can never sleep longer than six hours straight with the melatonin. Fortunately, for me that is a wonderful night's sleep compared to before. So, if you find yourself unable to sleep or to stay asleep, this is definitely the product for you. I will take it 30 minutes before the time I want to go to sleep, and as soon as I close my eyes, I am out! It has no after effects either, I never feel like I've taken a sleeping pill the next day.

I struggled with sleep disorders for months. One thing that my doctor recommended for me is to try taking melatonin supplements, since it's a natural trigger for the body to signal that it's time for sleep. I tried taking these 3mg supplements and I found that I got overwhelmingly tired for about 10 minutes, but it usually takes me longer than that to get to sleep. Afterwards, I was wide awake again. I learned after doing more research that my body was not responding well to the high amounts of melatonin in the supplement, and that it was natural to feel wide awake soon afterwards. The body responds better to lower amounts of melatonin, like 1 to 1.5 mg at a time. So I found another supplement that had an extended release tablet with 1.5 mg, and it worked a lot better for me. I stayed tired for longer and had a better chance of falling asleep.

I so love Natures Bounty Malatonin, there are nights I just cannot sleepm, and I take one of the melatonin and I have a great nghts sleep, and feel great the next day, I came accross this product when the family was having a barbeque and about an hour before the kids were to go to bed my sister in law lined all the kids up and gave them all a pill and so I asked her what she was giving them and why, she stated that she was giving them mommy's little helper, melatoinn, and that in alittle while they will all be going to sleep for the night without any "I am not sleepy, I don't wanna go to bed yet" no not that, they just go off and find a bed and so I made a note to buy myself a bottle for myself as I said I have a hard time sleeping some nights. My medicine cabinet will always have a bottle of Natures Bounty Melatonin. ALWAYS
