Sleepynol: Dietary Supplement Helps You Sleep

When I experienced trouble getting to sleep at night, I made an appointment to see my doctor. I am so active and "go go go" during the day, that I have a problem turning my brain off at night. He wanted to prescribe medication. I was not interested, as I was looking for something that was much less expensive. I resisted, and he told me to try taking a Benadryl or something such as Tylenol PM or Advil PM before bed. I tried this, I slept too well at night and was such a zombie in the mornings. I wanted something different because, with two small children, I cannot afford to be groggy or a zombie in the morning. A friend suggested I try taking melatonin.

I went to my local health food store and was overwhelmed by the many melatonin products available. There was a long row of bottles of different brands that all looked pretty much the same and it was so confusing. My eye was caught by a little black rectangular shaped hard plastic box with a white label and red writing. The product was called Sleepynol and I purchased it for under $10.

Sleepynol is a dietary supplement manufactured by Euroshine, USA, Inc. Each lozenge contains melatonin (as complex 34%) 14.7 mg and 1 mg elderberry. Other ingredients are sorbitol, sweet fiber, natural flavors, citric acid and magnesium sterate. Each package contains 24 - 5 mg lozenges.

The directions on the Sleepynol label say to let one lozenge dissolve under your tongue 15 to 30 minutes prior to bedtime. You are not supposed to take more than 2 daily, unless recommended by your doctor. Let the tablet dissolve in the mouth, do not chew the tablet, preferably position the tablet under the tongue and allow to dissolve slowly. I liked the fact that it was a lozenge, as many swallowed medications, make me nauseous.

Each night, I melt one of the Sleepynol lozenges under my tongue. It has a pleasant berryish grape flavor. I get sleepy very quickly and I wake up refreshed! I have never been groggy in the mornings nor have I experienced any negative side effects. I also have not been nauseous after taking one, which was one of my major concerns. I have been taking it for about four months now and I am still very happy with the results.

I highly recommend Sleepynol for minor sleep disorders, but if you are on other medications or have a more serious problem, you may want to check with your health care practitioner before trying it.
