Side by Side Comparison of: Natrol vs Psych Naturals

I really love MAXSleep, and have been using it regularly for about a year now. If I've been having any sleep difficulty I pop two of these before bed time and it certainly seems to help, both in falling asleep and staying asleep. If I wake up in the middle of the night I'll have one as well. It isn't a magic tranquilizer, but as one who typically doesn't put their trust in pills, I am certainly won over. I hope they keep making these forever!

Love it, wouldn't go a night without it! The combination of supplements is more effective for me than any one by its self

This seems to be working well. I don't take it every day but when I do it helps me to sleep longer than normal. I've been using this for a few weeks and will continue with this product. So far so good.

I've only been using MaxSleep a week or so now, but it really seems to be helping. Since menopause began, sleeping has been an ordeal, but I seem to waking up less when I use MaxSleep. If you're having trouble sleeping, it's worth a try.

After finally getting off of serious heart meds that caused crippling insomnia, it was time to get off my last med. I researched and found that the combination of Melatonin, which helps you fall asleep, Valerian, which keeps you asleep, and Gaba which shuts off overactive wiring in your brain (laymen's terms) was the way to go, to ween myself off. This was the only product that had all three without having to buy all three separately and figure out the correct dosage.I've been taking it for a week now, and as expected the first few days were better but not perfect. I went to sleep fairly quickly, I did wake up around 3am, but I went back to sleep within 30 minutes and slept for a full 4 to 6 hours after! As of last night, I slept through the whole night and I fell asleep within a half hour. I was expecting that this process would take me a few weeks, but this product sped up the process.I am taking 2 capsules now, but would suspect that I will be able to knock it down to 1 in the next week.My parents who live with me use low quality Valerian and Melatonin. I had them try it for a couple of nights with great success. No more roaming the halls at 2, 3 and 4am....which is what I think woke me up the first few nights.A nice surprise was being contacted by the supplier to see how they were working for me and their willingness to stand behind a high quality product. I thank them for that little bit of motivation right at the beginning, to ensure a good nights sleep. Sleep is very important to my continued heart health and I do not want to go back to my old pharmaceutical crutch ever.

I typically go to bed between 10:30 - 11:00pm and without any assistance will typically wake by 3:00am. Because of that, I had great hope for this product. First night trying these pills I slept til 1:30am. Second & third night I slept to 2:30am. Fourth night, up at 2:00am. Back to my sleeping pills... These pills were a waste of money for me.

It helps me to fall asleep and sleep all night at least 6 hrs. I do not have the morning hang over effect. this was the first bottle of max sleep and then it started not working so well until I started taking 2 tablets a night with the second bottle. I hope it keeps working with 2 capsules for me as it can get a little expensive, the good thing is I am not noticing any side effects so far. If there are any suggestions other than what I have please let me know. It gets me to sleep at night and I sleep 6-7 hrs and no hang over the next day.

This is potent stuff! However I must justify my comment because I am a 'light weight'. I dont take any drugs and when I do I have an abundant affect. So I took one pill the first night and actually slept the whole night. But I didn't 'wake up' mentally til about noon. Then I took a second night and wow I slept but it took me all day the 2nd day. My husband who is twice my size, very fit, but metabolizes differently also slept great. He didnt have the affect I did although a bit groggy in the morning. Being a health care professional I would say it was the Valerian root, but if you want sleep you will get it. No I am not using this product nightly.. too strong but it did 'reset' my sleep patterns and available when/if I need it again! Thank you

I like this supplement. It gave me a more sound sleep without causing any upset stomach symptoms that I have experienced with other sleep aids. Since I have trouble returning to sleep I found that two pills work better for me. It is all natural and I would recommend to my friends.

I'm still not certain about how effective it is. It seemed to be working at first for about a week. Then I began having trouble getting to sleep and began taking two capsules instead of one as I had been taking previously. And lately, two capsules have not been enough to put me to sleep. I'm not yet certain if these are ineffective on their own or if my new weightloss supplement has inhibited them from working. I am going to switch back to my previous weightloss supplement and continue using Max Sleep at night to see if it helps again. I suffer from anxiety so perhaps otc sleep aids just aren't strong enough? I'm going to continue to experiment since I do not have funds for dr appointments, and prescriptions, nor trust in doctors. Max Sleep worked great the first two weeks even though halfway through I had to up the amount before bed time, so I am going to continue with this product and hope it stopped working the last three days due to the new weightloss supplement I began taking during the day. If I can figure out how to update later, I will! Great company though, they seem to care about their customers' satisfaction and have contacted me several times to ensure that I was content with the product. If the product doesn't work I have no doubt it will be due to my anxiety and I'm sure it would work great for normal people.

I work night shift and have trouble sleeping during the day. Before I started taking these pills, I tended to get a few hours of broken sleep "here and there" and had trouble going back to sleep after waking up. After I started using these pills, my sleep pattern has improved. Although there are still days where my sleeping pattern is broken up, I am still able to enter into a "deep sleep" even when those days of broken sleep do occur. There are now days when I get a full 8 hours of sleep as well. My advice would be to get the timing down on these pills and and try to go to sleep the moment you feel it's effects.

This is my first experience with sleeping aid supplements - guess you could say I started with the big guns. This definitely makes me sleepy to the point of not being about to keep my eyes open while even trying to stay awake but I'm sensitive to all medications - natural or pharmaceuticals. It takes a long time to kick in - about two hours for me. I like the fact that it helps me sleep but my sleep isn't rested. I wake up feeling exhausted mentally. It keeps my brain far too busy. Weird to say but true. The other interesting thing is I have extremely lucid dreams while taking this, which is fun for awhile but really I just want a calm relaxing sleep without being aware I'm dreaming or working so hard while doing so. My guess is it's the GABA and I plan on trying the Valerian root with the melatonin separately.To be continued perhaps...

The MAXSleep from Norax Supplements unfortunately doesn't work for me. I had an unusual reaction to them where my skin got hot and itchy. That's just me though. My family members have taken it with absolutely great results and they said it really did help them sleep better. So they do work, just not for me.I received this product for free or at a discount for my honest and unbiased review.

There is too much melatonin in this for me, based on my blood tests. Even with that, I only slept for 6 hours after taking it. Too much melatonin can cause depression, but everybody's needs are different. So, this may be the perfect remedy for some, just not me.

I've tried many different products like this as I have difficulty sleeping. I found that this one gave me nightmares. I am accustom to having products help me reach that "dream state" but I'd rather not be swimming with sharks! My husband also tried it and it was great for him so ??

When I first opened the bottle, there was quite an off putting smell, which made me postpone trying the supplement. To date, this product has helped me fall to sleep, however I am still not getting a full nights sleep — no doubt a symptom of my age rather than the product not working. For some people this product might do the trick, but for me, I need something a little stronger.

I wish I could say it worked. It certainly made me sleepy at first and feel more relaxed and I really thought it was going to work (hence the three stars) but it did not help me actually fall asleep or stay asleep as it claims. I'm sure it does work for some people but for someone who has been struggling with extreme anxiety and panic attacks it did not work.

FYI, I did NOT get this free or discounted. I paid for it to give it a try on my own merits.I am already a GABA user, have used it for years with good results, so I already knew it was going to "work", but I wanted to know whether it would be more effective with getting to dream states with the addition of melatonin. This it does, and well.Mind you, how effective this is will largely depend on (A) the quality of your bed, (B) what you ate 2-3 hours before going to bed and (C) your room temperature and how tolerant you are to it.Yes, the pills taste and smell absolutely disgusting. I'm not sure why. None of the ingredients should smell this bad.I take two pills about 1 hour before I go to sleep. Some have quoted 30 minutes, but I find it not taking any effect for at least an hour in my case. I only take it with water.I can't stay my sleep is any more comfortable, but I am able to get to a sleep state easier. I also dream more frequently than I do without it. If I don't take MAXSleep I will again have difficulty going to sleep.

no bad side effects but did not really help me to sleepit was a little relaxing but not what I had hoped forit did have a relaxing effect but not really sleepystarted with one and then tried twocertainly did not have double the effect

I have struggled with depression and insomnia for years. My doctor has prescribed several different meds to help me sleep. So I have tried and will try almost ANY reasonable solution to the problem. MAX Sleep was just another failed attempt to get regular sleep without prescription medications. Now maybe it will work for you, but for me it did not. In fact during the two weeks or so I tried it I had very vivid nightmares. This I suppose was a reaction to the Valerian Root in MAX Sleep, as it has created these symptoms in me before.Another thing...the people who market and sell this supplement started badgering me from the day I received my package in the mail to give a reveiw. Anyone who has ever taken medications or supplements of this sort should know that it takes AT LEAST 14 days for the body to acclimate itself to a drug fully, and to determine if there are any adverse side affects. For me the side effects were pronounced nightmares that did not go away over time.In the end, I would NOT recommend this supplement to anyone and would suggest that whatever you decide to take your consult your doctor first.

This product did nothing for me to help my sleep through the night.These things effect different people in different ways.

Good price, but product didn't work for me. I still had trouble falling asleep. The search continues...

We normally buy snooze eez, but bought this due to them being out. It didn't seem to have any affect and I will just wait until snooze eez is back in stock.

Didn't help me get to sleep. I still woke up a lot.

My husband suffers from horrible insomnia. After reading the reviews I thought this would be a sure way for him to get some relief. He couldn't tell one bit of difference after taking this supplement for three nights.

Didnt work for me. This was a complete waste of precious time and money. I would have stuck to my OTC (over the counter) instead!

I read a good bit of reviews before purchasing this and decided to give it a try. This has done absolutely nothing for me - I normally just take melatonin 10mg and it does the job so I thought this would work. However, I've been laying awake at night - I took one pill the first night I recieved this and nothing happened. Second night, I took two pills - still nothing! this was just a waste of my money.

So i have been told by my doctor that my insomnia, should be treated with prescription medicines, but i wanted to try something natural before im guven any heavy hitters.But unfortunately this product has only solified my doctors argument for me to go on prescribed meds. This had no affect whats so ever i took the prescribed 2 tablets half an hour before bed with milk/water and i still dont sleep. I didn't feel drowsy, tired,calm or ect. I really wanted this to work especially since it had such great reviews, but unfortunately i cant be one of those who found success , but i still recommend this product, to try it at least once for success.

My experience with this product was unpleasant and potentially harmful. I took one capsule shortly before bedtime. During the night, I had strange dreams and woke up multiple times. The next morning, I awoke with vertigo, gastrointestinal distress, and a headache that lasted all day. On the second day, the vertigo and nausea were so much worse that I had to miss work. These combined symptoms were so rare for me that I began to suspect the herbal supplement. When I researched its main ingredients, valerian root and GABA, I found that they can produce exactly these side effects. Mine lasted for 48 hours. I'm glad to know that some people benefit from MAXsleep, but I would never use it again or recommend it to anyone.

It has not helped me to fall asleep at all
