Found a sleep supplement that worked

Hey Everyone, I am approaching my 60 day mark towards the end of next week.  Sleep has been rough still but I did find something that really worked for me last night, I hope it isn't a one time thing and time will tell I guess but it did help me relax and drift off which is really difficult for me.  I tried Restful Sleep, purchased at Whole Foods and it is a Whole Foods label supplement, it cost about 9.99 and contains valerian, passionfruit but most importantly Wild Lettuce which is supposed to be great for sleep.  I've tried every combination of melatonin, valerian alone as well as any other sleep supplement at the health store and so far I can say I felt a noticeable improvement in my quality of sleep last night and the ability to just actually GO to sleep.

Just want to say I'm thankful for each and every one of you out there, your experience, your views and support.

yes Gasten I will for sure post an update next week to give you a better review, I was just so thrilled to find SOMETHING that worked and it's only like $10 to try so not a huge cost.  I am about 4 weeks now off ambien and struggling to find some way to get back in a normal sleep pattern.  OTC sleep aids do not work at all for me and many times make me jittery, melontonin is hit or miss.  I can honestly say last night was the first night where I took the supplement, went in and went to bed and didn't lay there for hours and had a decent sleep. Nyquil also works but my goal is to of course learn to sleep without having to take anything.  I'm hoping this supplement will help me until the changes I've made to my sleep routine will start to sink in and work.  I'll post journal entries and make them public relative to my sleep progress with this new supplement.  Fingers crossed!

Thanks Iwill. And I'm glad you got a good night's sleep. I will try the restful sleep. I like the name! I've noticed a VERY gradual improvement in my sleep.
I too have tried all kinds of things for sleep. It helps ti know that I'm not alone!

Okay I started a journal on my experience here if anyone is interested in the specifics i.e. what exactly is in it, what my sleep history is.  I'll keep the journal up for the next week or so and track my results.  I pray this is something that will help me get to the next level while I work on my sleep hygiene habits and recovery.  Click on my name and view the journal if you like.

The problem is everyone is so much different and what may work for one doesn't for another. From example melatonin is hit or miss for me it knocks me out like I took ambient but when my mom takes it she actually stays up all night and can't sleep it has the opposite effect. Each person really has to go thru trial n error until they mind what works for them best. It has alot to do with age as well older folks will need slmethibk stronger while as for me at 25 my body produces enough natural melatonin so when I take extra it has good effects. Thanks for the info tho its great to share ideas on what options one has to choose from.
