Natrol Melatonin 1 mg Fast Dissolve Tablets, Strawberry, 90 Count | Nighttime Sleep-Aid for Adults, 100% Drug-Free, Non-Habit Forming, For Occasional Sleeplessness, Supports Circadian Rhythm

Feels pretty good, and it helps with sleep. The 1mg low dose is very gentle, so I don't feel groggy the next morning. It's really useful for winding down after staying up late running models in the lab, or for adjusting to time zones for upcoming long trips. It has a strawberry flavor and dissolves quickly in the mouth, which is very convenient.

I'm 40, but have been dealing with sleep problems since I was about 14. I have a sleep disorder that means I struggle...a lot...with sleep. I've done multiple sleep studies, tried numerous RX sleep aids, OTC sleep aids, OTC antihistamines, RX antihistamines, muscle relaxants, beta blockers, alcohol, CBD, using RX stimulants in the morning...working with multiple therapists...walking my clock forward, walking my clock backward, strictly maintaining my sleep schedule, using sleep deprivation to try and reset my circadian rhythms (under the guidance of a sleep doctor), using bright light therapy, restricting blue light sources after 5pm, restricting ALL light sources after 5pm, using exercise and using meditation over the last 20+ years in various combinations to try and correct this problem. Compounding the situation is the fact that I sleep walk and sleep talk somewhat frequently. Sleeping is the bane of my existence. If someone told me they could wave a magic wand and give me 10 million dollars or fix my sleep issues, I would chose sleep over money. I've tried using melatonin in the past, but the sleep doctors at the time had me taking a larger dose (about 10mg) 60-90min before lights out. They have also had me try using time release melatonin - all to no avail. In fact the larger the dose of melatonin the WORSE my sleep usually got. Back in January 2023 I started seeing a new sleep specialist. He put me on a different combination of RXs, but on top of that, he asked me to use a very SMALL dose of melatonin (0.5 to 1.0mg) roughly 5 hours before bed. Over time, we've been walking back the time I take the melatonin by 15min every 1-2 weeks. For the first time EVER, I've gone 4.5 months with just 1 sleep walking episode, no car accidents, no oversleeping...just NORMAL sleep!!! Some of this is because of his guidance, but a LOT of it is due to this product. Everything else that I'm taking (the RX sleep meds) are things I've taken with very limited success in the past. Taste wise, this is a pretty delicious chewable strawberry flavored tablet. It's a little more tart than sweet. The consistency is reasonable and fairly soft. The taste is good enough that a number of times I've been tempted to have more than one - just because they ARE that tasty and enjoyable! So you combine a product that is VERY affordable, tastes really good, has a tolerable consistency AND WORKS WELL - there literally is no downside to this melatonin supplement. My advice is just to stick to the small dose size, take it 5-6 hours before you want to be asleep and give it a few weeks of consistent use to see if it works for you, too.

I have suffered for over ten years from insomnia. Due to having an anxiety disorder and major depression and naturally being a night owl addicted to her screens I have HORRIBLE sleeping schedules. So bad that if I cant sleep by 4am I sometimes skip school because the lack of sleep makes me super irritated and shakey etc. (I have no sleeping disorder). So I hear about Melatonin and how it isnt habit forming at all and when I checked Amazon I was hyped that it came strawberry flavored! (Strawberry flavored anything is fabulous). I bought the 1MG to test how much I needed to get me to sleep. I did research and technically anything over 1MG is overdosing and you shouldnt do that but I have severe relaxing issues so I needed this. One thing I will say off the bat is that I thought at first this gave me nightmares the first few nights. But after weening off of it (just in case) I realized it was just lil old me. Now I started off taking it all at once if I took more pills not realizing you should slowly take them. Please slowly take them itll be better for you (an hour before you sleep then if needed when you are trying etc depends on person). My body reacted better when I would slowly take them every hour as opposed to all at once. It made me more groggy. Even though this helps me sleep at a determined time it did not help my quality. I sometimes wake up in the middle of the night to pee or for whatever random factors and this does not keep you knocked out. But even though I have a hard time falling asleep always, when I did wake up, I did not stay up. I can also tell if Ive hit my bodies limit with melatonin because I will wake up groggy. (Thats why you get 1MG to test out your personal limit). At 3MG I got super groggy in the morning but anything lower made me feel normal waking up. I only take this when I need to jump start my sleep cycle again if its out of wack (due to staying up late) and usually itll keep my sleep schedule on track. Ive actually used this on and off for about 2 months and I wake up around the same time now. (AND I NEVER DO or never wake up before 10 without feeling like a swamp monster). I am not doctor and I did not get paid for this review. But I do suggest using it wisely and only occasionally. If you use it frequently your body gets used to how much is in your body and its less effective. I took it 4-6 days straight and realized it was less efficient if I took it too often and frequent. When taken it feels like you are a tad bit dizzy but relaxed. It feels like that awesome sweet spot when you are about to fall asleep and your body is fully relaxed. I would suggest taking these and being prepared for that feeling. It does not make me feel light headed so if you start to feel sleepy you still have time to get to the bedroom and get comfy. Overal I LOVED these chewables. Super delicious and convenient for a college student who needs to wake up for those early morning classes. This did not affect me negatively emotionally or any of my disorders and I did not have side effects except for the occasional groggy feeling. I am not on any other medications so I do not know if it will have adverse reactions if you are on any meds. Good luck!

I’ve been using Natrol Fast Dissolve Melatonin 1 mg to help regulate my sleep routine, and it’s been really effective! The tablets dissolve quickly — no water needed — which makes them super convenient before bed. I’ve noticed I fall asleep faster and wake up feeling more refreshed compared to nights when I skip it. The 1 mg dose feels gentle but effective, and I’ve experienced no grogginess in the morning. The raspberry flavor is pleasant too, which makes taking it easy and enjoyable. If you’re looking for a simple, fast‑acting sleep aid to support a better bedtime routine, this melatonin is a great option!

Prescribed to assist with 'getting sleepier earlier' as stress, life, etc., tend to keep the mind active and challenging to let go by day's end. It is by no means an Ambien in which the body builds resistance or tolerance to when taken regularly, thus requiring staged increases in dosage. This was a natural alternative to something the body needs anyway, especially if your regular nighttime meds quit bringing on the drowsiness. I love the flavor (a smooth strawberry), the quick dissolve (no granules, it dissolves to nothing), and the idea of regulating hormonal activity (perio, or full menopause) and still being able to get up in the a.m. (no hangover). The effect varies, night to night. Some nights I found a strange euphoria, others a surge of energy. Those are difficult to deny, but on to bed we must try. Then strangely, other nights a calmness, ready to sleep feeling comes over me. The key is to let it work, because it does seem to do the job. No middle of the night waking has occurred, and on the nights I skipped, I noticed the lack of it. At 1mg, the effect seems sufficient, even though the doctor suggested moving up 1mg per week (to a maximum of 5mg) until the desired effect is achieved. I think the 1mg is fine as long as you remember that this doesn't make everyone's eyelids droop, but it is working to some degree at a cellular level. I suppose a higher dose may satisfy the desire to get knock-down dead tired, but I already have a terrible time getting out of bed and do not want to make that any more difficult than it does. It does has many health benefits, as do all supplements, but a single magic pill does not exist. Trial and error, practicing good 'bedtime hygiene' and a little motivation to give something new a chance produces good results; better than doing nothing at all.

Feel a sleep fast and taste was pleasent. Dissolved pretty easy. No need to swallow. Pill size small. Great value for sure. Will buy more.

Using this 1 mg tablet brings forth Dreamland quickly and long lasting sleep. Chew into a powder and direct it under your tongue. The 1 mg is all one needs to "get" to sleep.

We call these "Sleepy Vitamins" in our home:) The kids ask for them because of how calm they feel as they prepare for bed. We use the 1 mg fast dissolve melatonin almost nightly to help our kids fall asleep gently and stay asleep through the night. They are sugar free which allows us to give them to them after they've already brushed their teech. They taste "really good" per our children, and smell like candy, so keep them in a safe place, or get the bottles that have child proof lids. The 1 mg strength is perfect for children (ours are 4,4,5,8,10 years old) but you can stack the mg if you feel that more is needed. We have used these for years because of the efficacy and ease of use. If you want your big kids to continue sleeping like babies, this is the trick! And, melatonin is a natural hormone, so I feel good giving it to my kids knowing it's supporting their own melatonin hormone production.

Very natural and no headache

Very good supplement for sleep you don't need more then 1mg to sleep its better to use only 1mg per day, high dose like 5mg or 10mg will give you gorgginess in the morning. This Natrol is perfect it dissolve fast in the mouth and it will work fast within 15 to 30min

Excellent Product. It works well

I’ve taken the pills of the same dosage before this n find them to be more effective. These just don’t seem to be working for me.

Not the first time i order! But ….. this time i ordered 2 and both bottles came with crushed bills!!! Most of them are just powder!!! Really horrible! Wonder if it is shipping or this is a second grade production which is sold like this with lower price! Never again!
