Pros: Melatonin doesn't work for me, so I was glad to try this alternative. It definitely improves my sleep, and I'm never groggy in the morning. I wake up the same number of times, but go back to sleep quickly.<br /><br />Cons: After 6 nights of taking 2 pills before bed my head felt really full and my heart had a definite arrhythmia. I thought about what I'd eaten or taken that was different, and thought of these. I skipped a night, and the next day my heart rhythm was back to normal. Last night a took half of a pill, and still went to sleep. Heart is fine today. So, I'll be cautious from now on. I see no other reviews that mention this, so it may be peculiar to me.

So many people have sleep issues and that can impact health dramatically. As a Naturopath I am always looking for safe, natural, and effective ways to help people get the sleep they need. I have used Sleep Calm myself and it works very well, and I recommend it to many of my patients. Homeopathy can be magical because it works so well, but there are no adverse effects and it won't interfere with other treatments. Boiron does a fantastic job of making formulas that anyone can use. I raised my children with homeopathy. Feel confident about trying this.

Old, and no longer sleeping like I used to when I was young. Everything I tried either wore off in 4 hrs, to leave me awake and starved for good sleep, or it was time released, and left me groggy and miserable all morning.<br /><br />My husband and I now take this each night, we fall asleep naturally, sleep the night, and awaken clear headed, with no more grogginess than we had after a night's sleep when we were young. Another thing to mention is that if something awakens us during the night, we are able to get up to deal with whatever woke us, then lie back down and promptly go back to sleep till morning.<br /><br />Look no further. If you're reading this, then you have found your solution! Get it; you will be amazed.

I have a problem sleeping throughout the night. I tried this product one time during the night to go back to sleep and woke up feeling very sick. It took me about five hours before I felt close to normal. I looked up the ingredients and found the first ingredient was Hyoscyamus niger. Interesting ingredient for sleep.<br />Tossed them in the trash.<br /><br />From Wikipedia: Hyoscyamus niger, commonly known as henbane.<br /><br />Henbane ingestion by humans is followed simultaneously by peripheral inhibition and central stimulation.[14] Common effects of henbane ingestion include hallucinations,[2] dilated pupils, restlessness, and flushed skin. Less common effects are tachycardia, convulsions, vomiting, hypertension, hyperpyrexia, and ataxia.[2] Initial effects typically last for three to four hours, while aftereffects may last up to three days. The side effects of henbane ingestion are dryness in the mouth, confusion, locomotor and memory disturbances, and farsightedness. Overdosages result in delirium, coma, respiratory paralysis, and death. Low and average dosages have inebriating and aphrodisiac effects.[14][22]

I have been taking these for two weeks and they work wonderfully! Takes about an hour for them to make me drowsy and I fall asleep easily. If I have to get up during the night, I have been able to fall back to sleep easily also a majority of the time. Like I said in the headline that it takes a couple of days to find that drowsy feeling in an hour! I wake up in the AM easily and do not feel that I cannot wake up.

It is one of those things that works in the background... it does work. I have a major sleep disorder so nothing is 100%. I like it better than Quietude. I will stick with five stars!
