Nested Naturals Luna Sleep Aid - Non-Habit Forming Natural Sleeping Pills for Adults with Naturally Sourced Ingredients - Valerian Root, Melatonin, Chamomile, Lemon Balm, & More - 60 Vegan Capsules

I am an RN with long-standing arthritis and fibromyalgia. A good night's sleep is difficult at best and some nights it is impossible. My husband is a bad snorer which adds to the problem. I have used a number of over the counter and prescription meds on nights when I am desperate for sleep. Zolpidem is no longer covered by my insurance and is not intended for long term use (also nasty side effects), so I began researching herbal products that might offer some relief. Luna is absolutely amazing! Remember that all herbal and prescription medications offer different results for each person. That said, let me tell you about my positive experience. First off, I would like to say that the reviewers who have commented about the unpleasant taste are correct. The capsule smells like dirty socks but the bad taste lasts only a few seconds. The smell however, will stay on your hands from handling the capsule so wash well. I get around that by pouring the capsule from the bottle directly into a small paper cup and pop it into my mouth. Don't let this smell discourage you from using this wonderful and effective product. The benefits far outweigh this minor inconvenience. Another FYI: you must pay attention to the time you take the product and adjust that to when you want to fall asleep. It won't take long to discover the administration time that works for you. The first night I took one capsule an hour before bedtime and it took me another half hour to fall asleep. The second night I was sleepy in about an hour and the third night it was more like 35 or 40 minutes after taking Luna. The next night I didn't take it at all and that was a big mistake that I won't make again. I had a hard time falling asleep and was awake at 3:30 am, finally getting up an hour later. When taking Luna, the quality of my sleep is excellent and when I wake up, I enjoy the restful feeling so much that I don't want to get out of bed! No grogginess at all, which is a big change from other sleep aids. This formula makes you feel very calm and relaxed and that feeling lasts all day and night. I also take prednisone for my flare-ups which makes me feel irritable and edgy and this really helps to level out my mood. My husband started taking Luna too and he is sleeping much better. He has sleep apnea and uses oxygen via a nasal cannula at night. He usually wakes up multiple times and falling back to sleep can be problematic. With Luna, he not only falls asleep quickly but stays asleep until time to get up. I have noticed that the duration and loudness of his snoring is greatly reduced now. What a blessing that is! I have not seen this reported in other reviews so don't know if others experience this or not. For us, it is a just wonderful plus. Luna is an answer to my prayers. I just ordered more today - don't want to ever run out! So glad I decided to try it.

I suffer from crippling insomnia that will leave me awake for days, only for me to crash for a few hours at best, and repeat. I have tried every single drug store product, as well as Lunesta and Ambien (prescription). The first caused me to sleep-walk, and the latter had no effect after my 7th dose. I had a similar effect with all of the drug store sleep aids, as well as the natural ones I tried. They would work at first, and then stop working all together unless I increased the dosage. I read an article about the best natural sleep aids. This one was mentioned among the top two contenders, and being the less costly of the two, I decided to try it first. The directions for Luna say to take 1-2 capsules. I started at 1, in all honesty because I expected it to stop working like the others, and starting with the lower dose would prolong the inevitable, or so I thought. It is now 2 months later, I'm ordering my second bottle, and I'm still only taking 1 to fall asleep at night. Nothing has worked this well, ever. I have never had to take 2 capsules in order to get to sleep. When I fall asleep, it feels natural, I am able to get up in the middle of the night if I need to, for bathroom or water, and go right back to sleep afterwards. I wake up refreshed, without any sort of grogginess. During these 2 months, I had one night where I wasn't able to get a full night's sleep after taking it, but that had more to do with the bat flying around the house that we had to capture and release a while after I had taken it, rather than the capsule itself. My fiance has used it on the rare occasion that he has trouble sleeping, and it hasn't lead to any sort of dependency with him. All in all, I will continue ordering this product to help with my sleep, and hopefully it never stops working for me.

So far so good. At 135 pounds with a tendency to have difficulty staying asleep (and sometimes falling asleep) I'm thus far having good luck with this product. Melatonin alone wasn't doing it with a 6 mg dose and I didn't want to up the dosage so I went looking and found LUNA. The extra goodies that are mixed with the melatonin seem to be doing the trick. I started with one pill and that didn't quite get it done so I went up to the full dose and am sleeping through the night. I skipped last night and wasn't able to fall asleep until 3 hours after I usually doze off. No weird dreams (or at least not weirder than usual), I'm able to function as well as I ever could in the morning (the occasional toothbrush poke in the eye is normal for me), any feelings of grogginess are absent and I feel more rested than not. Usually I have to wake to "make water," but this seems to keep me deep enough in sleep mode to where I'm not bothered by such trivial needs. It can be a bit painful in the morning to be set to burst at the seams so I'm adjusting my water consumption at night to alleviate that unpleasantness. Funny thing - my dreams try to wake me by putting me in public restrooms which are inaccessible or inoperable, or in dire situations, stall walls are missing or I have an audience - yikes! Ah, the mind - fascinating how it works! I digress . . . . Be forewarned that if this product works for you as well as it does for me you may also need to adjust your beverage intake prior to bedtime. Overall I'm happy with this product and am thankful something is working. Ambien makes me toss my cookies and it's bad news anyway (talk about funkadelic dreams, wow!) so it's nice to have a kinder gentler option. With a money back guarantee there's really nothing to lose. For $20 per month I call it a good deal if it means I'm getting sleep.

I purchased Luna for my sister who was not sleeping well. She'd wake up in the night & her mind would get going on all things she has to constantly juggle which made going back to sleep extremely difficult. Even if she slept through the night for 8+ hours, she didn't feel rested & refreshed & would have to drag herself out of bed & throughout her day. She's had her thyroid & parathyroid removed & despite being on Synthroid, is always tired & dragging. Prescription sleeping pills would make her feel "hungover" in the morning & made it even more difficult to get up in the mornings. In addition, they tended to cripple her short term memory. Benadryl worked to get her to sleep but not stay asleep, nor did it help with the quality of her sleep, & would lose effectiveness over time. I was desperate to help her & went looking online for melatonin since I know that as you get older, the amount of melatonin naturally released in your body decreases. In the search results, I came across Luna & saw the truly unbelievable amount of reviews on Amazon & they were overwhelmingly positive. More than positive, they were rave reviews. I thoroughly checked out the ingredients for anything even potentially unsafe or that might negatively interact with her other medications. All that checked out & with their no questions asked, no time limit money back guarantee, I figured I had nothing to lose & ordered it for her. Within a week the transformation in my sister was AMAZING! Not only was she sleeping through the night with no residual drowsiness (or any other side effects), she experienced a quality of sleep unlike any she'd had in many, many years. In turn, it was so much easier for her to get out of bed in the morning & get through the day without having to push herself like a farmer driving a plow animal. I thought Luna sounded a little too good to be true but I cannot say enough about this magic pill. Don't even hesitate to try it since you don't have anything to lose & have everything to gain. Good, quality sleep is so much more vital to good health - physical, mental, & emotional - than people understand & many problems can stem from the lack of it - even things you wouldn't ordinarily associate with sleep or lack thereof. As with any supplement of any kind, natural or otherwise (natural & safe are NOT synonymous!), you should check with your doctor &/or pharmacist before taking it, but you need not look any further for an answer to your sleep issues. THIS IS IT!!!

Haven't slept right in 5 years. 2 weeks with LUNA & so far, so great! I've tried pretty much everything. (straight melatonin, herbal teas, glass of wine ( or more), various pharmaceuticals, deep breathing exercises, chiropractic, massages, warm milk at bedtime, exercise right before bedtime, and on and on) Because it's only been about 14-15 nights, I'm going to leave this initial review for the excellent people at Luna. I plan on placing another one before spring time. Jessica and Nel have been emailing me for support. They are great. No pressure, only pleasant service. THE REAL DEAL: Anytime after 45 minutes I get a very mild, natural drowsiness. I am able to stay completely functional and pretty awake as long as I want. But I'm very relaxed. Typically, this has been up to 2+ hours. When I do lay down, around 10pm every night (I take 1 Luna at 8-830pm), I coast off to Neverland without struggle within 15 minutes. This hasn't happened for me since 2011. That's when I went to Afghanistan with the Army. More on that later. IMPORTANT: I wake up after 6 hours around 4:30am or so. I am FULLY rested. I go right to the gym and have LOTS of energy. I had ZERO consistency until LUNA. SUPER IMPORTANT: I feel ABSOLUTELY ZERO residual effects. Even at 4:30 in the morning! I only feel GREAT & ready to go! In Full disclosure, my diet is pretty healthy (NOT perfect) and I almost never touch caffeine after noon. BUT yesterday I did at 2:30pm and NO CHANGE in LUNA helping me get my life back. Diet, exercise, caffeine, stress, etc all play parts in sleep but I know this... for over 2 weeks I have been consistently getting all those areas back to 2011 (and prior) levels. The difference: LUNA. Oh yeah, I'm 36 years old, married, have 4 kids (12 & under), do private consulting, and have an executive role at a medical laboratory. I have LOTS of opportunity to have erratic sleep... probably like you. Try Luna now. Sincerely, Adam K.

I have trouble to fall asleep and stay asleep for a year now. I was looking for some natural remedy that will not make me addicted. I was very hopeful when I found Luna especially because there were so many good reviews, but I was not lucky to become one of those happy customers. I took Luna for 3 nights and the side effects were terrible, I have not used the product since. The first night I took 2 tablets as prescribed. It did make me tired but I still could not fall asleep for very long time. When I finally did, I had a restless nights sleep. Woke up endless amounts of time tossing and turning. I see my alarm for 9am Sat morning and just could not wake up nor get out of bed. I was groggy, tired, nauseous and felt terrible. Well I decided maybe two capsules are too many for me, so just took 1 tablet the next night, and it was more of the same but Sunday morning I had a terrible headache as well as feeling groggy and tired. The nausea wasn’t as bad but it was still there. One not to throw in the towel right away, I decided to give it one more try on Sunday night still hopeful that my body just needed to adjust & took 1 tablet. I did not sleep well at all and it made for a terrible Monday work day. I have not taken a pill since nor will I take another. ***EDITED 8/26/2019*** I received email from from Jeremy at Nested Naturals 1 week after receiving the product, he was checking to see if I was satisfied with LUNA. I provided my feedback and they promptly refunded my purchase price. Too bad the product didn’t work for me but rest assured they offer fantastic customer service, and more importantly, stand behind their product!

Although the manufacturer gave me a refund on the product,I still owe the public a review. This product DOES contain MELATONIN,so be aware of that,but only a small amount- 6mg. It contains several other ingredients such as " Inositol" (used for OCD treatment and panic attacks but in higher doses),and VALERIAN (used for insomnia,but the average dose used is 400 milligrams and 900 milligrams of valerian up to two hours before bed.This has 200mg. HOPS FLOWER is (yup used in beer), and combined with Valerian,has been "said" to be a mild sedative.(But clinical studies of this according to the National Institute of Health,are inconclusive). Taurine is an amino acid,and no conclusive studies show its a "sedative",but does somewhat "level out" the electrical impulses of brain activity.It's in milk,and warm milk some believe helps sleep. Passion Flower the herb may be of some benefit to calm you before sleep,and is sometimes used with people with anxiety disorders (such as panic disorder), the National Institutes of Health's medical information website, recommends a tablet containing 90 mg of drug daily. This has 100mg. Skullcap Aerial Parts fall into that same category of reducing stress.You have to be careful with Skullcap and know exactly what your getting,because "Skullcap products are not always what the labels claim. The plants germander and teucrium are often unwanted and unlabeled ingredients in skullcap products. Secondly, you may think you are buying Scuttelaria lateriflora, the species of skullcap that has been studied for medicinal use, but the product may contain a different species of skullcap instead. The most often substituted species are Western Skullcap (Scuttelaria canescens), Southern Skullcap (Scutellaria cordifolia), or Marsh Skullcap (Scutellaria galericulatum). These species contain different chemicals, so they are not considered interchangeable."-WEBMD Chamomille- Everybodys heard of Chamomille Tea,The plant is considered safe, but Studies suggest a dose of between 400 milligrams to 1,600 milligrams daily in capsule form (for research purposes). This has 150mg. The reason I mentioned all of this,after I told you about my request for a refund,is that it did not work for my wife and myself. We became "relaxed",but not "sleepy". After trying it for over a week,we found that it did not produce a full nights sleep,and in fact we awoke several times a night while taking it. For us it was more like a "jack of all trades" for relaxation mixed together,but a master of none, for prolonged sleep. The seller DID give us a 100 percent refund,and was very cordial about it. We ended up buying 10mg capsules and taking 10-20mg of straight Melatonin,and began sleeping like babies. This is what we bought: Nature's Bounty Maximum Strength Melatonin 10mg Capsules, 60-Count $5.88($0.10/Count)$12.99

So let's start out with some quick facts: The way this product works is by supplying your body with melatonin along with some other natural stuff that should help you sleep better. Your body naturally produces melatonin based on your circadian rhythm and is usually at peak production during the night. Now my experience: I think it helps on most days. I'm only taking one pill per night BTW. For myself, and perhaps many people, we use our computers from dawn till we sleep. As for me, the intense attention and concentration I give the computer makes me unaware of the time until I stop doing something, take a thought break, and look at the time. This means my sleep time and my circadian rhythm get affected. So when does the melatonin get produced in my body if I'm not sleeping at regular times? Recently my work schedule changed. Now I have to wake up early in the morning, which means early bedtime. But if I'm on the computer before bedtime and all that intense concentration happens, will my body actually know when to produce melatonin? That's where LUNA comes in. Now I can take one of these tablets before going to bed and it actually helps. I get that sleepy feeling and I go to sleep. So it works. This is in combination with daily gym workouts and proper eating. BUT, keep this in mind: This is a natural formula, which means that if you are forcing yourself to stay awake then these won't help you. Examples are drinking caffeine late at night, sleeping really late, forcing yourself to spend a few more minutes on the internet when it's actually hours, finishing that level boss in that exciting game because you can't save without defeating the boss, eating something right before sleepy time, exercising, etc. etc. These pills aren't miracle workers and WILL NOT FORCE you to sleep. You have to put in the effort to sleep at a good time while doing all the right things before bed. You want NATURAL? Then you have to act and be natural. Follow/Fix your sleep times, control your food times, caffeine intake, etc. and use this pill as a sleeping aid. Can't do that? Then these pills aren't for you and should probably ask a doctor for a chemical-in-a-pill solution that could knock out a horse (being sarcastic here). Long explanation short: Use this if you are working on fixing your sleep issues and need some extra help in sleeping. Don't use this expecting that it will knock you out and you'll get that super-sleep like you always wanted. Keep this in mind before purchasing.

This works really well as an alternative to medicines to aid sleeping. I found the casing made it a little hard to swallow. As in, I felt it was stuck in my throat and I had to chug a ton of water. But it did the trick and I fell asleep quickly and didn’t wake up a million times as usual. Was a little groggy in the am but no more than with melatonin or any other sleep aid. I would definitely recommend, it’s a good product

These sort if work for me but not all the time I think they are bit better than just melatonin

Just ok. It put me to sleep ok but I was up in 2-3 hours. I prefer a time released melatonin to keep me asleep longer. I now use this if I wake in the middle of the night. I only take one capsule. 6mg of melatonin is too much for me at 2 am.

This is a second night when I take this pill and I feel agitated and my blood pressure is high 155/105/70. Last night when I took the first pill I felt the same but I thought maybe is my body reaction after first pill but I see the ingredients doesn't help me at all it makes me feel worse, not a gentle sleep unfortunately.

this Is the best sleep aid I have ever tried It works fast It keeps me asleep all night Wake up refreshed NOT DROWSY like other sleep aids. This is the main reason I love this stuff. And when I have to wake up early I don’t feel like I’m a zombie, so it’s great for short naps. No nasty flavours or after taste. No dangerous ingredients. Great bang for the buck. I’ve used this for months almost everyday and it works the same every time!!! Get this before you try others!!
