I understand that melatonin works differently on different individuals, so my experience may not be applicable to others. What is different about this formulation is that it first provides a large amount to get you to fall asleep, and then a smaller time release through the night to help keep you asleep. Using this product, I do fall asleep quickly, generally wake about 3 AM to use the bathroom (I am 82), and have little trouble getting back to sleep. This is a better outcome than not using the product.

After about a week of my body getting accustomed, these are working like a charm. Sleep comes on fairly quickly and I rarely wake in less than six hours! That is a huge change from previous two hours at a time of sleep, often with 30-45 minutes awake!

Doesn’t make me real sleepy but once asleep it will make me sleepy for 12 hours. Until I used the time release didn’t work at all.

Works just like it says it does. I have difficulty falling asleep- I can’t seem to get my mind to quiet down. This seems to help calm my mind so I can rest. I bought the lowest dosage available and will take two on rough nights but one is usually all I need. Small round pill is easy to swollow and is tasteless.

I also take progesterone every night and have tried sooo many things without success. My annual blood test showed 0 progesterone so I take that and it really helps. I added this time release melatonin and I was sleepy the whole next day so I know its doing something. I'm going along pretty good right now on getting to sleep....thrilled. Hope it keeps up.

Really needed something to help me sleep.. This is a natural remedy that helps me sleep soundly without feeling groggy in the morning. Although I may need to up the dosage after I finish the bottle.
