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 have chronic insomnia and sleep apnea. I have been taking Ambien for several years. It worked well for me. Recently the doctors office I go to had a personnel change. They will no longer prescribe Ambien and want me to redo all the tests at the sleep lab I have already been through. My insurance also changed and will not cover any preexisting conditions for the next 6 months. This left me in a sleepless situation. I saw good reviews for this product here on Amazon and decided I would try it. I have taken Valerian Root and Melatonin in the past with less than spectacular results. So to say I was skeptical would be a very true statement. The first night I took Luna I fell asleep quickly and stayed asleep. I was still not convinced, but now after a couple weeks of using it I can say that I am impressed. I actually feel like I sleep better than I did on the Ambien. I don't wake up as a much and when I do I can usually fall back asleep if I am only awake for a short time. I don't feel drugged out or groggy in the morning. So for me this product is great. I cannot make any guarantee of it working for you, but I would tell anyone with sleeping problems to at least give it a try. Maybe you will be like me and find a really good alternative to prescription sleeping pills and tons of doctors visits. In saying that if you think you may have sleep apnea or another serious condition, you should still see a doctor as I am not a medical professional and know that these types of conditions can be dangerous. Update 8/21/2015 I have been using the product now for several months. I have only noticed a slight difference in the effectiveness, which could just be me, the weather conditions, or the state of my allergies. The product has not had any side affects, I don't feel groggy or foggy in the mornings. Will continue to use.

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.

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.

though, I didn't feel it was making me go to sleep, I am definitely sleeping longer, better. Update: I have purchased about this product about 4 now. I have never before ordered the same product for sleeping. I ordered the last one and, because I waited a few days after I ran out of it, had a few nights without it and I can honestly say without a doubt that this aid works, at least for me it does. I have no doubt, the noticeable difference between using it and not, is the difference between noticing sleeping sound or not. I can say that I can get at least 5-7 hours of solid sleep with Luna, where otherwise i will wake up several times during the night. I do believe on a study that shows one goes through two 4 hour sleep cycles. Now that I know that, I don't sweat it after waking up fully after 4 hours. I just relax and do what ever relaxes me for the next hour or two, than I can go back to sleep for another 2 to 4 hours, Luna just makes those hours I do sleep a lot more solid. Edit: I have been using this product for months now. Its been the best for me. Now there have been times I've had similar problems that some people have had, and have giving the product a low rating. I have found that this product may cause a lack of B vitamins, which can cause the restlessness some people are talking about and crazy vivid dreams, just the same as alcohol comsumption can, so I take a small amount of B complex with it, as well as a bit of vitamin C, as ive heard its best to take some vitamin C with B vitamins, having to do with the effect of B vitamins on the gums in your mouth. I also consume a beer or some other alcohol beverage before going to bed, or shortly before going to bed. it acts as a relaxant, it really adds a big boost in me getting a good night sleep. I got this idea form a 100 year old lady who always drinks a beer right before going to bed, lol. Disclaimer, I am no professional, and this is definitely not medical advice, I am just stating what works for me. I have had a major sleep problem for many, many years. I was getting an average of 3 or 4 hours of sleep, if I got any more, it would be very broken sleep. I am now geting an average of 6 hours, which is a huge accomplishment for me. I still feel like its always 3 am for me, but its getting a little better and not getting worse, which is very important for my physical and mental health.

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 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.

Chocs post traumatiques multiples, anxiété chronique , fibromyalgie et maladies de Lyme donc probablement de sommeil multiples croyez-moi ! Depuis 2004 que je prend de la mélantonine j'ai même monté à 190 mg par soir juste pour réussir à m' endormir ! Donc avec les année, j'en ai essayé plusieurs sortes ! ( DOUBLE ACTIONS- SUBLINGALE- GOUTTES-GUMMY ,ETC) Bref des effets secondaires j' en ai vu de toutes les couleurs ( RÊVES TROP RÉELS, CAUCHEMARS ATTROCES , MEGA MAL DE TÊTE , NAUSÉES, ETC .) Pour faire un résumé c' est la sorte qui fait la différence ! Depuis que j'ai essayé LUNA depuis un mois maintenant là je peux dire que CE PRODUIT EST FAIT POUR MOI et pour ceux pour qui ça ne fonctionne pas ! Ne baissez pas les bras ! Continuez de chercher ! Moi ça m' a pris 20 ans avant de trouver ce produit ! Mais en 2004 il n' y avait pas autant de possibilités !

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

Its OK but doesnt do the trick alone for me. I find taking regular valerian and melatonin does same thing and is stronger...I find LUNA to be too light for me and I end up taking more valerian after taking this...also the melatonin dose in these is too high....if you take 2 pills you got 6 mg of melatonin....that is very high and not recommended intake....I kinda just take this as a melatonin pill now, one of these Lunas and 2-3 valerians...that puts me out fast.

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 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
