For Insomnia "Hi, I had some invaluable advice from my doctor who said that all sleeping aid tablets like Sominex and Nytol should be taken with a 10-12 hour cycle to avoid feeling groggy the next day. If you have to be up at 7am then try half a Sominex at 7pm and go to bed at 10-11pm. You will see a massive difference"

For Insomnia "I have used this product on & off, every couple of months, for several years. I use it to sleep well & lay in as opposed to helping me get to sleep. Oddly I find it either knocks me out, as planned, or doesn't work at all! Half the time it has no effect on me whatsoever, which is what lowers my overall rating. When it does work it successfully keeps me asleep & allows me to lie in longer than usual in the morning. Because of this I'd never take one if I had to get up for work! It doesn't impede me waking in the night to use the bathroom and I go straight back to sleep afterwards. They recommend taking it half an hour before bed but I take it earlier in the evening so it doesn't impact on me quite so much the following morning. I can stay awake easily for a couple of hours (or more) after taking it so I personally couldn't recommend it for aiding falling asleep."

For Insomnia "I have never had a problem with going to sleep at night, but I bought some Sominex at the airport the other day in order to help me sleep in a 9 hour flight, and now for the past few days I have had severe insomnia. Nothing else my routine has changed, but now I am up all through the night, tired all day, and still can't sleep at night. I regret making the mistake of using this product."

For Insomnia "Seemed to work the first day but then with week long use started to make me nauseous and have a very upset stomach. I took it an hour before bed and only made me feel like I was sick with allergies which is odd."

For Insomnia "I have been using Sominex on and off for few years. They do the trick for me, but I find a whole tablet too much. But I tend to break the tablet so I end taking a 1/3 of tablet. They are easy to break, and this is enough for me. I sometimes take 1/2 and again this is more than enough. They are strong tablets, and I do feel a bit groggy in the morning but nothing that stops me functioning and I always manage to get to where I need to be the next day."

For Insomnia "I have used this for years. I’m peri menopausal and my sleep routine is awful. I normally sleep 3-4 hours a night if I’m lucky, but with the help of this medication I get 8-10 blissful hours. However, until about midday the following day I feel tired and lethargic, but it’s worth it so my body gets some sleep...I only take it once a week. I’m going to try half a tablet twice a week and see how it goes!"

For Insomnia "I use these Sominex tablets when I am on holiday as I always struggled to sleep in an unfamiliar place and an unfamiliar bed, it used to spoil my holiday as I felt so tired. I take half a Sominex tablet a night and it really helps. I do wake in the night but get to sleep again quickly. I find taking a whole tablet makes me feel terrible the next day but half a tablet allows me to sleep well and able to enjoy the next day and enjoy my holiday. (he is moans about my snoring though)"

For Insomnia "It took me two hours before I fall asleep, and woke up 3 hours later with pounding heart beats which subsided after like ten minutes. I started falling in and out of sleep after every two hours. Woke up with headache in the morning. I don't think this med work for me."

For Insomnia "I was recommended this by a friend and was at first sceptical, as I've struggled with sleep for years. Having taken half a tablet I slept well, although still waking I was back asleep in no time. I feel refreshed in the morning and suffer no issues, can't be more pleased."

For Insomnia "Wow, this was grim. One tablet, still awake 4 hours later. Finally got to sleep but woke up dizzy and spent the day feeling like I’d been hit by a truck. And when I say “the day” I mean it. It was a full 24 hours before I felt normal again. Will never use this product again. I’ll take my chances counting sheep."

For Insomnia "I often suffer with insomnia, I struggle to get to sleep on a night and I can be up for hours. Sominex helps to drift off quite quickly once it kicks in, only criticism can make me feel drowsy in the morning for about half an hour.. but works well to help me sleep."

For Insomnia "I slept like a log last night and always do what I take this particular sleeping aid. But the side-effects is I feel groggy in the morning. I took it whilst on holiday and my friends said I seemed like a different person, not really with it! I question that something so affective and strong hasn’t got its counter negative points! "

For Insomnia "I have sworn by sominex for years. It just works. I used to take night nurse, until a pharmacist explained the active ingredient in night nurse is what sominex is made up of. Since then, 1 sominex, and I'm out for the count. Never is there a time where sominex isn't in my home"

For Insomnia "I take this tablet to help me between changes in shifts. As I transition between a 3am finish to a night shift or between night shifts it helps me get around 8 hours sleep. I was finding if I went to sleep at 7am I would be awake by lunchtime then tired for my night shift. Taking half a tablet keeps me asleep until 4. I do wake up feeling groggy and often fall asleep again for a nap early evening but by the time I start work I’m fine and good to get through the night. It helps and I only need to take a couple of times during a 6 day set of shifts."

For Insomnia "I have never been a very good sleeper but since hitting menopause, my sleep pattern has been awful. Waking up several times a night. Someone recommended Sominex so I thought I would give it a try. For reference, I am 5"3 and between 12 and 14 UK size. I rarely take medication so after reading the reviews, I thought I would start with just a 1/4 of a tablet. Within an hour, I was feeling sleepy, ( I was tired anyway). I slept right through with out waking once. I don't feel groggy so my advice is to maybe start small and then work the dosage up to what suits you."

For Insomnia "I had taken a sominex years ago...just one, at around 8pm..my husband woke me up at 2.30pm the next day still out of it and more than able to continue sleeping. This Wednesday I took just half a tablet after my first experience being one if complete knock out. I slept ok, fits and starts but again was woken up at 2.30pm. But I wasn't aware that being on lamotrigine for seizures I shouldn't have taken it at all. I'm only on a very low dose of medication but have had the worst focal aware seizures for 4 days now. I can't wake up properly and I feel cold, washed out and paranoid. Just be aware of what other medication you're on before you take it."

For Insomnia "I've always struggled on and off with sleep, but it's never really affect me much until I've hit my late 30s. Now drifting off from work and family life is a bit issued. I tried the nytol tablets and they were useless. These Sominex ones don't really send me to sleep quickly but when I do sleep I sleep long and struggle to wake up for half an hour. The dreams are very vivid and whilst not nightmares they do halve a balance of good and bad but in such great detail that you remember it well. Does the job when lack of sleep accumulates but not what I was looking for. May work for you tho. Far better than a lot of the non prescription stuff out there. Took 1 per night on and off 3 weeks but still struggle to initially drop off regardless what time I took it."

For Insomnia "I am a very poor sleeper and, routinely, get by on 4-5 hours/night. However, every now and then I feel as though I need to sleep longer and more deeply. On such occasions, I take half a Sominex tablet and find that this is sufficient to get me to sleep and then back to sleep following any trips to the loo!"
