Natrol Melatonin 3 mg Time Release, Dietary Supplement to Minimize Wake Ups, Nighttime Sleep Aid, 100 Tablets, Up to a 100 Day Supply

These really knock you out but I would be slightly concerned if using them since it's likely that the actual amount of melatonin is much higher than advertised, very common for companies to put hundreds times more than they state on the label. They are very effective for sleep though I have had other brands of melatonin sleep aids and these really do the trick. You feel a bit groggy in the mornings but it clears up later in the day.

For those who have trouble sleeping or staying asleep, this may be the answer. I rarely had good results with the various Melatonin(s) out there. Then, I saw this time release version. In the description, it says that it will help you fall asleep and then the time release will help you stay asleep. As for its effectiveness, I found that after taking it for about a week, I started seeing an improvement in how long I could stay asleep. I am a senior and don't sleep as well as I used to. If you have had sleep issues, keep your expectations real. Yes, this time release has helped, and it is better than anything I have used before. While it is an improvement, it isn't likely to bring back the sleep you had as a teenager. In conclusion, follow the directions on the bottle and best if you can take it close to the same time every night.

Update 12/17/2025: Second order of these. I ran out and was a reaffirmed I sleep better on them. ( I reverted to a melatonin gummy when out of these and was reminded that these indeed keep me down for the night in a way a gummy doesn't. Anyway, I'm getting moreso sold on these. Earlier review: I've decided I love sustained release melatonin after using others: quick- dissolving, gummies, and regular (not sustained release). I get a better, endured sleep. I take one about an hour or two before sleep, and one at bedtime. I'm sold on these!

Helps with insomnia. I wish it cost less.

Helps with falling asleep, but not a long term solution due to side effects with use greater than a year

Quick and high quality!

Just about right, is my description of Natrol 3mg Time Release Melatonin. I started out thinking more is better with 10mg. My experience was what I would almost call a low grade hangover the next day and into the next day. I then went down to 5mg and thought that would be the answer and better but still a lagging feeling the next day to slightly take me off my game. This product solved two problems the Time Release keeps me pretty much in a sleep mode all night long. As for me I take it every other night so as to avoid the hang over effect after a couple of days build up in my system. Finally after many many years of sleeping problems i found just a little dab will do you, 3mg.

These melatonin tablets actually gave me good energy but they also made me feel a little jittery and kind of weird. I’d recommend breaking them in half if you’re sensitive like me. They still work, just better in a smaller dose.
