Greetings to those who don’t sleep!
Once, there was a perfect melatonin supplement with green tea extract in my hands, but I threw the can away and forgot its name, so I bought this one from Natrol randomly.
I decided to buy another sleep aid supplement when I realized that I suffered from the lack of sleep. No ear plugs ever could save me from my noisy neighbours who always had to move their furniture in the middle of the night for some reason. As a result, I became twitchy.
This very supplement is available in different doses, such as 1 mg, 3 mg, 5 mg, 10 mg, with strawberry flavor or without any flavor at all.
Price: $10 for 100 tablets in 5 mg.
The can is designed in violet and is nice to look at.
The tablets themselves are little, white and easy to swallow. Besides melatonin, they contain vitamin B6.
Expectation:
I thought I would hug my pillow and drift away into the world of sweet dreams.
Reality
I turned off the light, closed the curtains, prepared my ear plugs and took a tablet 20 minutes before going to sleep.
I didn’t remember the moment I fell asleep, but before it, I always felt groundless anxiety. I felt like I was caught in a storm. My body seemed to be there, but my mind turned off.
I didn’t wake up throughout the night, but I had realistic vivid dreams and felt uneasy. I always ran, jumped, fell, went through a maze. It’s like real-life quests, not dreams. It’s as though I lived two realities, and when I woke up, I couldn’t distinguish what was real and what wasn’t.
A few times I even dreamed of perverse sex which I can’t even think about in real life. You can imagine how tired I was at work in the morning.
Besides all this, I started suffering from terrible headache, which lasted till 3-4 p.m. It felt as though my skull was squeezed in a clamp.
I decided to try taking a half of the tablet.
Now I couldn’t remember my dreams but the headache was still there.
My husband tried these too, but his dreams were pleasant and full of light. But his brain couldn’t have rest because of them, still. He had no headache, though.
The bottom line: I’m so upset because this supplement turned out to be a waste of time and money. I’m not ready to take painkillers every time and live in two realities.
Not recommended.
