Does anyone take this and does it help with your sleep ? Seems in my old age my internal clock alarm goes off after 5 hours of sleep if I'm not real active. Iv'e used Melatonin a few times in the past with good luck but got a new bottle and been trying different doses with no luck. Wondering if it's the brand name.

I have used the olly stuff. It says take two I only take one and it puts me out . I have some wild dreams on it. If I don’t get to sleep long enough I am groggy in the morning

Ive used this sleep aid for a couple years worked great at first 3mg,then 5mg then 7 mg finally stopped taking it at 12mg,side effects started ,groggy morning's, headaches

As we age it's a challenge to calm the mind every night to get restful sleep our bodies need taking pills for our ailments and sleep is troubling


Lately im onboard with a sleep patch from "wellamoon" all natural ingredients including 7mg melatonin, this patch slowly releases sleep aid over a few hours,works great,no morning groggy ,allows deep relm sleep for me. Give it a whirl ,inexpensive online

I like zzzquill it works for me
That's what I was using before once in a while and it seemed to work well. I ran out so I bought some Natrol brand , It has 5mg per gummy vs 3mg that triple action ZZZquill has. Iv'e tried a few different doses and it probably helps me get to sleep but after 5 hours I'm wide awake. That's why I'm wondering if the brand name might make a difference.

My melatonin comes in cans that say Busch Light on the side. ...boozer...
A good stiff drink before bedtime works for me too, better than melatonin but I can only seem to do that a couple days in a week. Another sign of old age when you have to force a drink down just so you can get a good nights sleep.

You can get a melatonin hang over..I stopped after getting two..was one of the worst hangovers I have ever had. Happened to me twice..was bad. Zzzzquil is basically Benadryl…works but can affect your mood if taken long term.

I have tried many things as others have said too many side effects. Hate to say it go get some legal cannabis space gummies cut them into 1/4's no side effect. Montana or South Dakota is legal helps with all health issues to like pain management or neuropathy etc.. drink less too.

I have taken it a few times. I quit taking it. I would be extremely groggy in the morning and more tired than if I hadn't slept at all!!

I know of a few people who utilize a vap-pen right before they go to bed and they swear by it. I really have no interest in that, but I have less interest in going on any type of pharmaceutical prescription medication either!
