I've always had problems falling and staying asleep. I fall asleep about 1-2 hours after taking them, and I was able to sleep 8 hours. At first I was concerned about still being able to wake up but I was pleasantly surprised at how refreshed and alert I felt in the morning and even during nighttime I was able to wake up to my son when he ask me to use the bathroom. I recommend adding this to your night time routine!
