I was oddly fascinated last night when I took this sleep aid to find that I could literally feel my body shutting down for sleep!What an interesting and pleasant feeling.. To KNOW I was going to sleep. I struggle to not only fall asleep, but stay there. I was able to do both last night! Hallelujah!
This really works! I was highly skeptical but it really does the trick. I never had sleep issues until going through menopause. It got bad enough that I took a nightly Ambien for over a year. As a person who shuns drugs (even aspirin!) and alcohol, it really bothered me to think of how toxic that had to be for my body. I'm vegetarian, very into good health and clean living. So this product's description of "all-natural" appealed to me.
Since I've started taking it, I start getting drowsy earlier going to bed at 10:30. Sometimes, I even have to close my kindle down earlier and head to bed which is really wonderful as the alarm gets me up at 6:00 a.m. I can't tell you how many sleep supplements I've tried and how many have failed to make a difference.
My issue has never been GETTING to sleep- it's always been STAYING asleep, and that seems to be the difference between this Nutreance supplement and everything else I've used. To be candid, no medication has ever helped me stay asleep. But the Zenwise redinite gets me through the night. It facilitates deep sleep, and I don't have any trouble getting back to sleep when I DO wake up.
My sister has issues falling asleep and staying asleep. She has tried several over the counter options with no luck, and several prescriptions that left her groggy for a good bit after she woke. When I told her about this she wasn't thrilled as she assumed it was going to fail like all the others. To her surprise a week after taking it, she was sleeping better and woke up refreshed. She couldn't believe it.
Something I've noticed - I've never been the type to be able to fall asleep on public transportation or random places easily. But ever since taking this I've been able to fall asleep in buses and in cars. I did not take this during those times. I only take this at night. I'm not sure if this is all correlated or not, but I've just noticed I've been able to fall asleep easier than I ever have. For me this is a plus. I've always been envious of people who could fall asleep anywhere and at any time because I am the exact opposite. I need it completely dark and silent, but that seems to be changing and I REALLY like it.
The main thing I like about this sleep aid is that it makes me feel peaceful and calm, which helps me to wind down in the evenings, and fall asleep without feeling as if I'd been sedated!
Although I don't usually have a problem sleeping, I faced an intense travel schedule involving thousands of miles and changes in time zones. When I had a problem going to sleep and staying asleep, I found that taking two capsules before bedtime helped. I was able to go to sleep quickly and remain asleep throughout the night, feeling rested without being groggy the next morning. In an extreme situation, I found that taking these capsules with a bottle of beer was even more effective.
I'm always a little nervous to take sleeping aids...in the past, they've left me groggy the next day and made it extremely hard to get out of bed in the morning (and I already have a hard enough time as it is!! :)). I've noticed, as I'm getting older (mid-thirties), I haven't been sleeping through the night like I used to. I always have to get up at least once to use the bathroom. Lo and behold...I sleep through the night when I take this product!!
If you've ever looked at natural sleep aids, you're likely familiar with melatonin, the natural hormone used by the human body to regulate circadian rhythms based on available natural light. Melatonin-based supplements are effective at knocking me out for an evening. This supplement is essentially Melatonin+, containing a proprietary blend of various other known sleep assistants. The formula works.
