“I DO NOT sleep well ever. I needed something to help my body realise its time for bed and with this Equate Sleep aid definitely does the job. Does it keep me asleep? No but it does help me fall asleep. I also wake up the next day feeling pretty good. Sometimes I feel groggy but after I motivate myself I feel great”
“I was worried about changing shifts and melatonin has worked after about 2 years of change behavior. I decided if I'm going to get up at 4:30 in the morning I'm going to need to get something heavy to force my body to realize it's bedtime. Since it is summer and bright until 830-9pm blackout curtains, fans, sleep mask, and me living below two 2nd shift workers, this has been a godsend. It works well for me but I honestly just need to change my diet around, work out 3 times a week and then move but I'm stuck..this works great for now. I take 1/2 pill or I'll never wake up!”
“I just woke up to my husband punching me because this medication made him have super vivid dreams. Apparently he dreamed a tiger attacked him and he punched it, but punched me instead ”
“I like how this medicine works. It allows me to fall asleep without giving me a "hangover effect".”
“Works well, I fall asleep quickly, and STAY asleep until morning. My energy level during the day is fantastic, I haven't even needed coffee. I wish it was safe to take all the time.”
“Did not work at all . In fact it made me very restless. I wasted my money.”
“It makes me feel groggy in the morning. Like a hangover...uggghh”
“I took Equate for a month and it didn't work once”

“After night shift, I fall asleep but wake up in three or four hours. Definitely not enough sleep when going back out to work the following night. I now get a full seven to eight hours sleep. I love this product.”
