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.

This product is very helpful for occasional sleepless nights.

Only half a pill is sufficient for me. No drowsy mornings. Searched forever and this fits the bill perfectly.

I was taking these mostly once every 2 weeks or so and they work well I do have some daytime groggness but it disappears after 3hrs for others it works differently of other people's bodies...If I can recall I took 2 pills before and I was fine however I haven't used these for some time and I was on vacation I had trouble sleeping during my whole vacation and I decided to take 2 pills on the last night of my vacation....I take them lay down and as I'm waiting for them to work I stare at the window near my bed for 10 mins...rest my eyes for 2 minutes all of a sudden a family member is talking to me so I opened my eyes and it's morning...I do not recall any dreams toas I'm getting ready to leave I could barely keep my eyes open....even after getting up and walking around to wake me up but it doesn't go away...my family and I pack up and leave quickly...I felt very confused and it was hard to think...I have never felt this way before on this supplement and I felt worriedI was in the passenger's seat on a road trip and after 30 mins of my family member driving I kept struggling to keep my eyes open and still felt confused and scared no matter how much I shifted in my seat or what I did to keep me awake it wouldn't help at one point I did start to hallucinate a few things I was wearing glasses so I thought it was the reflections but I was in a carThis freaked me out even more so I decided to sleep in the car during the road trip I woke up 3x because of the car moving but went back to sleep when I woke up I was home I was still a bit groggy and confused but I felt a bit betterI help my family then eat a meal and after 3 minutes I was struggling to keep my eyes open once again so I go take a nap it was around noon when I fell asleep the last thing I remembered after eating was laying down on my bed I dont remember tucking myself in or changing my clothesI blink and a family member is worried because I've been asleep for a while when they tell me I'm still confused and I don't respond and they walk away...I don't remember falling back asleep but I close my eyes for a moment and open them and it's still noon I feel rested now so I checked my phone it was Saturday 12pm when I 1st fell asleep it's now Sunday 1pm I wasn't tired for the rest of the day but this really worried me...I really don't recommend taking 2 pills if you know how you react to one...these made me feel confused and groggy for a while like I was drugged or satdated please use with caution

They work well

Wow this stuff is strong!I took it for the first time last night, and slept like a corpse. Waking up today was kind of rough, and I am still battling wooziness, so tonight I will take only half a pill. But yeah, finally found something that beats my insomnia!

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.

I suffer from insomnia but not able to wear a mask so I depend on these to help me sleep. They are not perfect but better than nothing.
