We first heard about melatonin from one of the nurses at the hospital where my elderly mother was staying and I picked up a bottle at a local Walmart because we needed it urgently. Usually, staying at a hospital is a total torture for my mother as feels she gets even sicker from not having any oportunity to rest at night due to her roommate &#34;all night' working tv and constant nurses rounds - she just can not get back to sleep that easily. The nurse took a bottle from us, placed &#34;a patient's property&#34; sticker on it and started with the adult dose 4mg approximately 20 minutes before my mother was ready to sleep. NOT only did my mother finally sleep through the night, they actually had to wake her up in the morning! NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE - she usually wakes up super early and can not sleep anymore as she has a zillion of things to think about :-) My mother felt fully rested (not dizzy like she feels after taking her sleeping pills) and much less anxious during the next day. 3 days later she was discharged from the hospital and this time we did not even have to have a visiting nurse - she bounced back so much quicker! All because she could rest at night, she just was not as exhausted as she usually is after a hospital stay. I then bought the 4 bottle pack and the price on Amazon is better than in Walmart. Plus, it saved me a trip! Now, I am taking melatonin myself during the stressful week at work (not on weekend nights!) - just half a dose, and my mother reduced her dose to half as well, and we both feel it has been a huge life saver. She has not been taking any sleeping pills since because they knock her out and make dizzy the next day, no need we think we leave them a last resort. Great remedy - will purchase again once we run out in a few weeks!<br /><br />Not sure why people are commenting on bad smell and taste - it does have a specific taste and smell indeed, but nothing awful, it is a bit sweet and in my opinion, tastes WAY better than NyQuil and some of the other cold/cough medicine! I add a table spoon of water to my half a doze and that is it!

I use 1 to 2 MLS to help fall asleep a night. I mixed it with a glass of water . It works wonders for helping me fall asleep fast without having to use OTC pills or prescribed medication.

Exactly what we were looking for and sooner than I thought

This stuff works better than the tablets/capsules. Hold the dosage of liquid under your tongue for 3-5 mins, swallow, and within 30 mins, you'll be asleep. Because it is liquid, it travels quicker to the bloodstream. It will knock you out, trust me.

Tolerable taste, seems to be absorbed fast as it is in liquid form.
