I was pessimistic that a natural product could do very much as a sleep aid, but I was very wrong indeed! When this product arrived I gave one to my adult (special needs) daughter, who usually wakes up several times during the night to have snacks, and I also took one, as I stay up far too late and I need to get back on a routine for the start of the school year. It tasted great (fruity) and melted in our mouths. My daughter began to show obvious signs of sleepiness within a few minutes. I began to feel very much at peace first, followed by sleepiness. We both went to bed at a decent hour and got a great night's sleep. If she got up, I didn't know it because I was resting very comfortably. We will definitely continue to use this product!
