Boiron SleepCalm Melatonin Free Sleep Aid Non Habit Forming Homeopathic Medicine For Deep Restful Nighttime Sleep Unflavored 60 Meltaway Tablets

I'll get to my review below but first things first... a talk for the people who really can't sleep and are suffering for weeks/months on end -I feel your pain. Right, so any sleeping aid is going to either work or not depending on what the underlying problem is that is keeping you awake -is it physical (aches/pain, hormonal imbalances, having to pee many times per night, restless leg, breathing issues, diabetes, heart issues, blood pressure, etc.), is it emotional/psychological/trauma/neurologic/psychiatric (stress, anxiety, depression, PTSD, bipolar, etc.)... so many possible combinations of why you can't sleep. Stress from work, Covid, your neighbors, pests (ants can drive you nuts if you are on the West Coast)... you name it. Maybe even a vitamin deficiency, or you are taking too many things that cause insomnia -coffee addiction is a good example.So, don't expect any sleep aid to be a miracle for you -you have to work on the underlying problems even while taking pills to help you sleep. Things like eating healthy -adding certain well-being foods to meet your nutritional needs and keep your body in balance (especially if you have vitamin/mineral deficiencies, allergies/sensitivities, candida, leaky gut, or are just getting older... and also don't overdo supplements or pain meds as that can even be worse for your liver/kidneys or exacerbate insomnia). Walking and other forms of exercise can also help along with any combo of yoga, meditation, affirmations, listening to relaxing music or doing some relaxing hobby to destress while avoiding upsetting things and emotional triggers -horror movies, staying on phones/internet too much and being addicted to your devices or work, overthinking situations/relationships -folks, you know who you are and it's probably most of you reading this... ruminating on significant others but even family members or co-worker boss stuff at times. Some people have real worries about illness and money problems concerning themself or loved ones. It's all understandable why so many people have insomnia at times.So, now... I have had horrible insomnia for about 5-6 months and eating well/supplements/walking/meditating wasn't taking it away -melatonin didn't help much either but I did have some minor relief from magnesium (maybe I was deficient) and stopping coffee for a week or so at a time to give my over-stressed adrenal system a rest (thyroid, adrenal issues, too little serotonin and too much cortisol or other stress hormones can all be culprits contributing to lack of and poor quality sleep). It became so terrible that I thought I'll die if I don't get some quality sleep soon after so many months f this. I decided to try these because I trust and have had good experience with Boiron. I like that it is quality controlled, gentle, and natural as well as non-addicting and not likely to harm my kidneys/liver or interfere with other supplements I take, which is all very important in a sleep aid. I've been taking these for two weeks now and have had good results. I still wake up many times in the night (to pee) and no sleep aid is going to fix that issue. However, I take two as instructed and let them fully dissolve while under my tongue -if you are swallowing, chewing, or dissolving these in your cheeks or on the top of your tongue you are doing it wrong. They are sublingual... you have to let them mix with your saliva but let them dissolve only under your tongue so they can be efficiently and rapidly absorbed by your body.The first couple of days, I took two before bedtime and also two in the middle of the day... just to help reset my clock faster -it worked. After so many months where I was not able to fall asleep until the middle of the night and exhausted all day long, I finally started to fall asleep more readily after lying down and have been waking up early -like 5 AM -and wanting to go to bed early (sometime between 8 and 10 every night). So, I still wake up often to go pee, BUT I fall asleep right after most times and even when I'm awake and not sleeping... I feel chill and relaxed. I feel like the overall quality of my rest in bed and my sleep is better. I've always had insane dreams, so I don't feel like it's changed that too much, but some other reviewers did mention dreaming more or more vividly (some mentioned nightmares). I didn't have any weird dream experiences that I would necessarily attribute to the pills. How to describe how I feel is less anxious and more calm/relaxed. I don't have that feeling of stress/nervousness/anxiousness about physical and emotional pain that keeps me awake to the same extent I did before. So, even if I am not sound asleep all night, my body and mind feels so much more rested than before where the insomnia was really destroying my health and well-being. You may sleep thru the entire night with these or you may continue to wake up and then quickly go back to sleep... or you may still have periods of just being awake; however, you should feel m

The sleep aid without melatonin is a game changer for me because melatonin tablets upset my stomach.The sleep calm relaxes my body.The pellets are even better and taste good.After I take the sleep aid I relax by my relaxation cd.The rest is history. Thank you

I was a little unsure about this because I've tried a wide variety of supplements for sleep and not a lot has been effective.I bought these during a bout of stress induced insomnia causing me to wake up around 4-6 am, unable to fall back asleep. Or I would try to sleep early and would struggle for hours to fall asleep. I was exhausted and desperate.These tablets have seemingly helped to stabilize my sleep enough to where even if it's interrupted, I can get back to sleep quickly. I don't wake up feeling groggy like I do if I were to take something like zzzquil.I'm so happy to have these and will definitely always keep them stocked for those stretches of time where my sleep just won't cooperate.Edit: one caveat is these contain lactose. I do not recommend if you are severely intolerant. I have a sensitivity to lactose myself and sometimes I do get a little extra gassy/bloated from taking these, but not enough to where it disrupts my sleep.These are not effective for all situations but months later I still find them helpful most of the time.
