For Insomnia "So awful! I never have an issue going to sleep, I just wake up too early. I took these as I had a long journey the next day. I was awake till 3:50 am, really restless and buzzing! Felt like I was wired on coffee! Woke feeling exhausted and just terrible! They have the opposite effect - I’m throwing the rest in the bin and now have to drive for three hours feeling so awful!"

For Insomnia "Couldn’t believe the effect these things had! Rather than falling asleep, I was irritated, restless, and slept almost zero minutes all night. Never again. Save your money, not only does this product not help you sleep, but achieves the exact opposite!"

For Insomnia "I used to use Nytol a fair amount at uni, but then stopped for about 2 years. I recently tried it again, and I have had a horrible night. Dry mouth and restlessness accompanied by severe anxiety, but nothing else. I have been trying for a few hours to get to sleep, and alas, nothing. I won’t be taking it again."

For Insomnia "First box of Nytol One A Day worked pretty well but then I bought another box a few months later and it gave me severe migraines, a bit of vomiting, and made me drowsy. Alright, but the sickness, restlessness, and sudden anxiety kept me awake. It's happened for the 6th night in a row, so I'll have to try something else."

For Insomnia "Where to start? I took two Nytol tablets at 9:30 pm. It’s now 3:55 am, and I’m more wide awake than I ever remember being before. My legs felt so achy and restless I’ve had to get up to make a cup of tea and take paracetamol. I’m just glad I’ve got a day off and not got to work. Dreadful experience, throwing them away."

For Insomnia "I’ve been waking up in the middle of the night for no reason. Thought I would take 1 Nytol to relax me and allow me to have a good full night’s sleep. Wrong. I have tried going back to bed a few times, but I feel like I’ve had a coffee fix. I’m tossing and turning. My legs are extremely restless. I just can’t settle down. Never again will I take Nytol. Just not worth it! I feel horrible now."

For Insomnia "I'm so disappointed that it is not working. I took a full capful of Nytol caramel-flavored liquid and feel wide awake and restless. Usually, I can lie awake quietly listening to my husband snoring, but tonight I tossed and turned so much that I woke him... quite an achievement. Don't waste your money. Take a cup of tea and a digestive biscuit to bed instead!"

For Insomnia "Took Nytol tonight, and it’s made my legs restless, and I’m actually more awake than normal! Have had to get up, as my whole body feels as if it’s restless!"
