Nested Naturals Luna Melatonin-Free Pack of Two, Bedtime Supplement for Adults, Herbal Nighttime Sleeping Capsule, Valerian Root with Chamomile, Lemon Balm, Non-GMO, Gluten-Free

I am an RN with long-standing arthritis and fibromyalgia. A good night's sleep is difficult at best and some nights it is impossible. My husband is a bad snorer which adds to the problem. I have used a number of over the counter and prescription meds on nights when I am desperate for sleep. Zolpidem is no longer covered by my insurance and is not intended for long term use (also nasty side effects), so I began researching herbal products that might offer some relief. Luna is absolutely amazing! Remember that all herbal and prescription medications offer different results for each person. That said, let me tell you about my positive experience. First off, I would like to say that the reviewers who have commented about the unpleasant taste are correct. The capsule smells like dirty socks but the bad taste lasts only a few seconds. The smell however, will stay on your hands from handling the capsule so wash well. I get around that by pouring the capsule from the bottle directly into a small paper cup and pop it into my mouth. Don't let this smell discourage you from using this wonderful and effective product. The benefits far outweigh this minor inconvenience. Another FYI: you must pay attention to the time you take the product and adjust that to when you want to fall asleep. It won't take long to discover the administration time that works for you. The first night I took one capsule an hour before bedtime and it took me another half hour to fall asleep. The second night I was sleepy in about an hour and the third night it was more like 35 or 40 minutes after taking Luna. The next night I didn't take it at all and that was a big mistake that I won't make again. I had a hard time falling asleep and was awake at 3:30 am, finally getting up an hour later. When taking Luna, the quality of my sleep is excellent and when I wake up, I enjoy the restful feeling so much that I don't want to get out of bed! No grogginess at all, which is a big change from other sleep aids. This formula makes you feel very calm and relaxed and that feeling lasts all day and night. I also take prednisone for my flare-ups which makes me feel irritable and edgy and this really helps to level out my mood. My husband started taking Luna too and he is sleeping much better. He has sleep apnea and uses oxygen via a nasal cannula at night. He usually wakes up multiple times and falling back to sleep can be problematic. With Luna, he not only falls asleep quickly but stays asleep until time to get up. I have noticed that the duration and loudness of his snoring is greatly reduced now. What a blessing that is! I have not seen this reported in other reviews so don't know if others experience this or not. For us, it is a just wonderful plus. Luna is an answer to my prayers. I just ordered more today - don't want to ever run out! So glad I decided to try it.

I take two of these, plus some CBD oil, literally right as I'm getting into bed ... and I sleep the entire night. This, from a 75-year-old woman who doesn't EVER have to get up in the middle of the night any more to use the bathroom! They also have a pleasant flavor :-).

I have had insomnia for years, like 120mg of melatonin, 200mg of diphenhydramine every night insomnia, I take 1 sleep aid and 2 of these now and im out for the night, butttttt the price went up $3 bucks in a week , ill look around for a comparable one

I started the 1st night by giving my son just half a pill. It worked like magic.He was asleep with in a half hour of taking half the pill. He's usually up multiple times in a night he only woke up 1x. It was much needed sleep for the both of us.However the 2nd night I gave him the other half of the pill. Again asleep with in 30 mins but this time he woke up screaming his lungs off. I ran into the room but he was still sleeping but screaming. I tried to wake him up and I couldn't. It was like he was stuck in a nightmare and couldn't get out. He started screaming for me and all i could do was cry and try to get him to wake up. He was in a trance. I started screaming his name shaking him but nothing. I ran to get him some water and a cold dampen cloth. He's still screaming while im doing this. I put the cloth on him and tried to get him to drink the water all at the same time saying baby wake up mommy is here, please just wake up. Eventually i just threw the cup of water on him. He didnt jump out of the dream but he did open his eyes. It was like he was in a trance or sleep walking. I then started to slap his face a little and tried getting him to stand on his feet. Eventually he did get up and he stopped screaming.Unfortunately it wasnt over. Once he was ready to go back to sleep he couldnt get settle. Or he would dose off and start screaming again as if the nightmare started again. He ended up not being able to go back to bed and i never went to bed at all. It was one of the most scariest nights of my lifeI refuse to give it to him ever again. I cant relive that again or put him through that ever. So he only used 1 pill in total and the bottle is just sitting in the Medicine cabinet.So from my experience no i would not recommend anyone to buy this product but Ive read the reviews and people clearly love the product and it works for them. It doesnt work for my son.I did look more into the ingredients and I believe it was the valerian root that caused the dream. It has some bad side effects. Again for just some people but i wont risk it again.
