These are the only aids that have worked for me. I take one each night and until I go to sleep I’m wide awake but when I hit the sack I’m out in a few minutes. When I wake up through the night (older and more bathroom breaks needed) I’m fine and not drowsy at all. Then go back to sleep without issue. I have used them for 6-10+ hours of sleep and when I finally get up I’m not sleepy at all. Seem to work by not having thoughts keep going through my head and keeping me up.
