KIRKLAND SIGNATURE Sleep Aid Doxylamine Succinate 25 Mg X Tabs (53201812) No Flavor 96 Count, Packaging May Vary

My boyfriend and I recently moved to an apartment in the middle of a bar/night club district in Downtown Cleveland. It's very, very loud on the weekends, and surprisingly, some weekdays as well. I have now discovered that my boyfriend will sleep through practically anything and also is a chronic loud snorer. Having trouble adjusting from a quiet, dead end suburban street and a bed to myself to a bustling metropolitan area with obnoxious drunks yelling, motorcycles throttling, the occasional food truck running 30 feet below our window, and a boyfriend who sounds like he is revving up a chainsaw in his sleep, I decided that I needed to experiment with products that would help me fall asleep and stay asleep.Earplugs felt uncomfortable in my ears and didn't mask all the noise. A white noise app just made it sound like my boyfriend was snoring through the middle of a fake thunderstorm. A fan made the room too cold and wasn't loud enough anyway. Melatonin didn't phase me one bit. Benadryl gave me a groggy hangover the whole next day. ZzzQuil made me have nightmares - like, terrifying, wake up yelling and sweating nightmares. So I started researching different active ingredients in sleep aids and reading reviews on both Amazon and Reddit. This one was decently priced, contained ingredients different than what I had already tried, and was rated highly. It is the generic form of Unisom.The first few days using this, I indeed woke up a couple times in the middle of the night and felt groggy the next morning. I decided to split the pill in half and take a half dose about 1-2 hours before bedtime. It now works perfectly for me - by the time I'm headed to bed I can barely keep my eyes open and I'm only waking up once or twice and falling back asleep pretty easily. I used to wake up 5-6 times a night, sometimes up to every half hour, and have trouble falling back asleep. This supplement has made me sleep sounder and, in turn, I feel better overall during the day. I used to come home from work and take a nap at 5 PM because I was so tired, but now I feel awake, my skin has cleared up, it's easier to lose weight, and I don't feel as stressed out. It even knocked me out for half of an 11-hour drive to the Outer Banks, something I've never been able to sleep through before. The only downsides of this medication are that sometimes when I don't take it (traveling, a late night out, forgetfulness) I find it difficult to fall asleep, but I don't think it's bad/often enough that it's habit-forming. Another downside is that I do not know the long-term effects of taking an antihistamine sleeping pill.Everyone will react differently to different medications - if you're trying this one, perhaps start with half a dose and understand that you may feel groggy while your body gets "used to it". For reference - I am a 125 lb female, which is perhaps why the full dose was too strong for me.

Super fast delivery!

I have trouble falling to sleep and know it's likely anxiety but I don't have many major issues during the day. Rather than taking regular medication for anxiety I'd rather just take this so I can get some sleep (I know some studies are iffy on long term use but everything has some risk). At big box store it's like $5 for a 30 tablet bottle so for someone who knows they will use it this bottle is a great deal. Easy to break tabs in half as well if you prefer trying a smaller dose.FYI: Most sleep aids at big box stores active ingredient is diphenhydramine - which is Benadryl. You can get regular Benadryl for super cheap. THIS active ingredient is doxylamine which is more commonly found in Nyquil and is also recommended at certain dosages for morning sickness during pregnancy.

This product works very well. I only take half a pill and I get great rest.

I started looking up sleep aids for a few super long flights to/from Asia. Nyquil knocks me out and this has the same active ingredient and gets good reviews. I always have trouble sleeping on planes, but these and an eye mask/pillow and I slept for a few hours on 3 different 8+ hour flights. It really made the restlessness of cramped planes more bearable.When I was done travelling, I tried these at home.... for the occasion when I was stressed out or knew I had a big day and wanted a good nights sleep. I take 1/2 a pill about an hour before and they work great. I do not do it every day....probably more like once or twice a month... I don't want to be depending on a pill to sleep, and I like the idea of taking this infrequently enough that it's out of my system and I'm not hooked on it. Great sleep aid, but like everything, it's great in moderation.

These pills really knock you out and you sleep sound. A whole pill is strong I've found out. I read the reviews of other people saying the same thing but needed to try a few times after a few different day's activities. That way I could review it properly. I would skip a night of not taking it to see what type of sleep I would have. Those nights I would wake but would have a longer time to fall back to sleep. My brain would come up with something to think about that would keep me too awake but eventually I did fall back to sleep. I do notice that any time less than 8 hours of sleeping in the bed when taking a whole pill I would take a 2 hour nap ( with vivid dreams) in the chair pretty much after getting up. I also am sluggish in doing any activity. For myself this is not the feeling I want daily so tonite it'll be a half pill to see what happens with sleep and waking. The pills do have an awful taste so don't let it sit on the tongue before swallowing. I suggest to swallow water first then take the pill with more water to cut the odd taste. I am retired so the sluggishness is not a big thing but it is if you work. The brain "fog" also is not good if you need to drive. I suggest to test a whole pill when you can have time to judge how it works for you. Bottom line for an OTC drug it does the job it's intended to do which is to aid to fall asleep and stay asleep. I suggest though not to take daily until you see how it makes you feel the next day.

This is probably the best sleep aid. I break it small pieces

We all hear to be careful of supplements and medications on Amazon, but I know these work as well as any other brand I've bought in a drugstore. I use 12.5 mg (half a pill) for sleep at night as I don't care for Benadryl (diphenhydramine).
