I've struggled with falling asleep for some time, and have tried medicated remedies and homeopathic remedies that were only partially effective. I heard of InstaSleep through a friend and decided to give it a try, and I'm honestly really happy I did! The tab melts in your mouth (which was great verses swallowing a horse pill!), and I was able to finally fall asleep quickly and last the entire night... which can be pretty unheard of for me. Thank you InstaSleep, I'm sold and will definitely be purchasing more.

Since I became a middle school science teacher I have been struggling to balance the start of my very early schedule. I also coach our junior varsity football team which requires a lot of my time reviewing film and scouting our upcoming opponents. I highly recommend this product if you have a busy schedule, it helps me get to bed and wake up feeling rested.

Product works well except after I have eaten food that contains a neuroexcitatory agent such as MSG. Still it does improve my sleep quality.

Very convenient, I keep it by the bed all the time, no need to get up to get water lol. The best part is waking up refreshed. I don't feel drugged like the old type of sleeping aids. great product, since it is drug free I feel comfortable taking it whenever I feel I need it.

I'm hesitant to give InstaSleep 5 Stars but in fairness, I have to because it does what it is supposed to do. For more years than I want to count, I have had insomnia. InstaSleep knocked me out. For two days I was very groggy, last night into today I slept 13 hours and I am finding it difficult to wake up. I take a bunch of supplements and I also take 1 mg of Xanax so perhaps there was a conflict between the meds and supplements I take and InstaSleep. Getting off the Xanax because 1 mg does not work anymore and do not want to increase the dosage. I'll see if that makes a difference in my sleep pattern. Bottom line is works.

With lots of travel, jet lag has become an all too familiar problem for me. I have been looking for a product that can get me back on track without skipping a beat. This is that product. One tablet at night quickly sends me off for a restful night of sleep. By far the best product I’ve tried out there. Try it out and see for yourself! Happy sleeping :)

2021 Edit (Original review 2018): Still works, still love it. A little sad the vendor is limiting purchases to 1 per customer at the moment (I like to stock up 2-3 months at a time.) Everything below is still applicable!I'm going to preface this review of InstaSleep dissolvable sleep aid tablets by that it is going to be a long one, so bear with me! If you would like to skip the details, the TL;DR Summary: This stuff WORKS! However please be advised that it could have potentially serious side effects if you are take anti-depressants (MAOI or SSRI)Sleep, or the lack thereof, has been a lifelong battle for me. I have been clinically diagnosed with Delayed Sleep Phase Disorder (DSPD), and it is a notoriously difficult disorder to treat. So much so, that most specialists generally will ultimately throw up their hands, and end up suggesting changing careers to that of one that allows you to work the graveyard shift. In the meantime, providing you with military grade stimulants/cognitive enhancers just so you can get through your 9-5.In brief, DSPD can be described as a case of permanent jet lag, as the body does not start producing the chemicals and hormones required for sleep until much later in the night than the average person. As a result, I am no stranger to OTC sleep aids, as well as most specialist treatments available.Cue InstaSleep from stage right. I was incredibly dubious when I originally ran across the $7.99 box of 16 dissolving tablets at the local Target. Ingredient wise, it is very similar to another sleep aid called Kavinace, except if you can believe it, a bit cheaper. The delivery method is also different with Kavinace being a powdered formula in a gel cap, whereas InstaSleep is a tablet that dissolves in your mouth. I hadn’t been impressed with the efficacy of Kavinace, so InstaSleep was already starting on rocky ground. Ultimately, I decided ‘why not?’ and purchased it alongside with my usual giant bottle of diphenhydramine.On the subject of ingredients, let’s break down the components of the 48mg “proprietary blend” found in each tablet:5-HTPGABAMelatoninEach of these ingredients is nothing new in the world of OTC sleep aids. I have taken each on their own, as well as in combination with other supplements such as L-Theanine and diphenhydramine to limited results.That said, let’s start with 5-HTP, or 5-Hydroxytryptophan, a naturally occurring amino acid that works as a catalyst for the production of Serotonin. As you may know, Serotonin is instrumental in the body’s ability to actually go to sleep. It is also frequently marketed on the European markets to assist with depression. 5-HTP’s role in the production of serotonin does cause some issues, however. The most predominant of such is a potentially severe reaction if taken in combination with an MAOI or SSRI class medication, leading to a condition called Serotonin Syndrome. As such, I would not advise taking InstaSleep if you are also taking either an MAOI or SSRI without first consulting with your physician.5-HTP, when taken by itself, yielded rather limited results in my quest for sleep. I was able to amplify them by taking supplemental melatonin and Diphenhydramine (Benadryl), but even still the results were inconsistent.Now, let’s talk about GABA: GABA, or gamma-Aminobutyric acid, is an amino acid which acts as a neurotransmitter inhibitor. In summary, it has a relaxing effect. It is natural, and if anything, a critical amino acid produced by the body, as it helps in the body’s creation of melatonin. However, it is not without its flaws. Taken by itself orally, GABA has problems crossing the blood-brain barrier, which means in that form it is as effective as a placebo. To work, it must have a catalyst.Finally, there’s melatonin. Everyone knows melatonin and its efficacy on those with general occasional sleep issues. Melatonin in this context is a catalyst, as both GABA and 5-HTP play roles in the synthesizing of it in our bodies.What does all of this mean for our pricy box of sleep aids? Well, there’s at least some science behind it.As we have now covered the basics, let’s jump into the review of InstaSleep itself. Note that my experiences are taking it in combination with Diphenhydramine, which has long been my “Go To” for the chemical equivalent of a knock over the head with a frying pan. Taking diphenhydramine alone results in grogginess, but fails at flipping the neuro switch for sleep mode.The first night I tried InstaSleep, I took a reduced dosage of diphenhydramine (150mg) with one dissolving tablet. 30 minutes later, I felt restless and was so drowsy it prevented me from going to sleep. This effect was the same one might experience taking 300+ mg of Diphenhydramine, and in general, is not pleasant.At this point, I adjusted my dosage to 100mg Diphenhydramine taken an hour before bed, followed by two tablets of InstaSleep 45 minutes later. It was at this stage that I realized I was onto something, as for the first time in many years, I peacefully drifted off to sleep about an hour and a half later. I was surprised, to say the least. Figuring it a fluke, or placebo effect, I tried it again the next night with similar effect.It now has been several months, and still works pretty well. Although I still only get about 5-6 hours a night, it is much better than the 1-3 I had been getting previously. As such, I would recommend giving InstaSleep a try if you can afford it and have been waging war on your sleep for a long time.

This is the best natural sleep aid I've ever tried, and I've tried many, including melatonin which doesn't work for me. I have a busy work schedule and it's difficult for me to sleep when I get the opportunity. After about 15 minutes, I feel my eyelids getting heavy and have a beautiful sleep, and the best part is that I wake up feeling wide awake. No grogginess or side effects. I am a huge fan and will be an ongoing customer now!

Works fast. Works well.I am horrible at falling asleep. I will lay there for hours just thinking about work, the kids, whatever...This stuff allows me to actually shut down and rest.The trick, and I think this is important, is to let it slowly dissolve under your tongue for the best absorption and do not rinse your mouth out with water. That just dilutes it. Brush your teeth, drink your water then take your InstaSleep. Works like a charm!

Makes me fall asleep about 30 minutes after letting one dissolve in my mouth. Only downside is it makes me wake up at 4:00am and feel like im wide awake.

LIFESAVER! I bought this for my husband out of desperation. He wants to avoid prescription sleep pills for obvious reasons and plain melatonin does not work for him (even at the highest strengths). INTSASLEEP works and he does not wake up feeling cloudy or groggy. I have recommended to several friends and all have had same experience. DO NOT HESITATE TO TRY!

I travel frequently out of the country. Switching time zones will disturb your normal sleep patterns. I always found myself having a hard time going to sleep whenever I switched back to my normal schedule. I first learned about InstaSleep during an event in NYC. The company had a booth displayed and was giving away samples. After learning all about the ingredients, I was convinced to give it a try. The results were phenomenal. I was able to fall asleep very quickly. I was also able to sleep beyond my normal 5 hours. I woke up refreshed and energized. No headaches whatsoever. I'm now stocking up on InstaSleep! Do yourself a favor, give it a try. You will be quite pleased with this amazing product!

I've been traveling more this year and jet lag had taken a big toll, primarily since I've had trouble falling asleep at night in hotels. The mints have been an absolute life saver, allowing me to get to sleep pretty quickly and wake up with energy. Don't use them every night, just when I travel and they continue to work great.

I have long struggled with falling asleep and staying asleep but had horrible side effects with any prescribed sleeping pills. After some research and reading reviews I ordered instasleep. I have used it twice and it works! I was nervous about feeling groggy or sluggish the next day, as sleep aids tend to do. But I felt great! Highly recommend.

Amazing Stuff! I have struggled with sleep for years, and I am thrilled to have found Instasleep.As a busy mother and business owner, I cant afford to feel groggy and slow in the morning, and with Instasleep I slept soundly, woke up rested and clear and able to jump into my day. I'm relieved to not need any hard sleeping meds that leave me dragging, Instasleep is a godsend. HIghly recommend.

4yrs later: I will still occasionally use them on work trips etc. I recommend these to everyone. I am doing much better at sleeping. Nightmares are still there every now and then when taking these, pretty vivid, it's amazing. But awaken feeling well rested every time.I had my doubts, but they do work.I did have horrible nightmares the first night I used them haha, I thought the other reviews were bs. I try not to use them everynight but they are not habit-forming at all.These are helping me get back in my desired routine and be more productive. Also, no feeling groggy when you wake up.It's pretty much what it's advertised, something that's strange in today's world lol. But they get the job done definitely recommend.A few more tips: don't let the pills do all the work. Make sure you have the appropriate conditions in your bedroom for sleep. Limit screen time before bedtime, and use blue light filters on your phone after certain time (10pm for me). I try to only go to bed when I want to sleep. That means no reading, watching TV, using phone/computer in bed.EDIT: Nightmares were common in the fist couple of days I took one of these.

I travel a lot. Always have, and over time you figure out the shortcuts to make it work. Sleep, however, is always a challenge and I try to grab some whenever I can. Traditional sleep aids would lend a hand, but knocked me out and the grogginess was a non-starter. Especially on a plane trip!So when a friend recently turned me on to InstaSleep I wanted to give them a shot. In my little trial, I've used them almost ten times, sometimes on a flight and usually at bedtime. I like the small size of the tablets. I'm not big on pills so the melting tabs are easy to take and quick to dissolve. No need for a water, which is also nice.I like 'em a bunch! None of the sloggy, groggy wake up and that's important when I get off a flight and need to be ready to go. I get to a deep sound sleep quick. Same result when I used them for my hotel nights. I'm big on simple, and this is about as simple as it gets. I've used one tablet most times and tried two a couple times. Didn't seem to make a difference.Overall I'm a fan and recommend others give these a try for yourselves. Good luck, and sweet dreams!

I am so surprised at how well these work... I have major sleep issues and these genuinely help me. They are non-habit forming and do not leave my feeling groggy. I take them when I feel restless before bed and they help put me to sleep. I also take them if I wake up in the middle of the night and know I won't be able to fall back asleep without some help. This supplement is gentle and effective. Would suggest it to anyone!

I've been having trouble sleeping for years. I've been around the block, with Melatonin, Unisom, Ambien, stepping it up to Xanex & Clonazepam. And lots of NyQuil along the way. A few weeks back my doctor recommended me to try InstaSleep. I was hesitant to try yet another sleeping aid but my doctor said try it so I bought it. Almost immediately, my sleep is now peaceful and i wake up well rested. I feel healthier and more energetic during the day. And no side effects from the previous nights usage. With better sleep, even my relationship with my wife has gotten better, now that I am up in the morning to help with the kids and not groggy taking the other sleeping aids that stay in your body and affect you moods the following day. To whoever made this product, thank you. I will promote it to everyone I know!!!

I have suffered from insomnia for the past 8 years due tho thyroid issues. My problem is more sleep onset rather than waking in the middle of the night. I've tried so many other sleep aids that never worked. I only tried InstaSleep because of a recommendation from a doctor I use. I have taken this product roughly an hour before the time I want to go to bed and it's helped me tremendously. The serving size says to take one, but I take two lozenges and it puts me to sleep. Seriously awesome product!!

I absolutely LOVE Instasleep! I trust it because it is all natural with melatonin and gaba which I find help me relax and fall asleep rather quickly once I take a tablet. I don't feel groggy or tired when i wakeup, and it actually tastes good. I have shared it with so many of my friends who work irregular hours as actors & models who are on set for long hours and need to repeat it the next day; and they've all come for more. Definitely would recommend!

4 Stars for good marketing. I researched for over an hour and this product stood out from the rest due to their marketing and product placement. In the end, I have determined all these sleep aids are the same. Of course each has its own formula claiming to be the one. I equate sleep aids to over the counter pain meds. There are lot's of BIG Name Brand pain killer companies competing for your your hard earned $. Take this or attach this to your body. Do they kill the pain? Some do. Especially the the doctor prescribed. Oxy's etc. My doctor said to me "why would I give you pain pills? If I did that I wouldn't know what the problem is... And that makes sense. Not the answer I wanted to hear, but the correct answer. If you have to take pain meds or sleeping aids you are just avoiding treatment.

I have been having trouble sleeping during the day ever since I started working 12hr night shifts. I saw these at Target and decided to give it a try. I would always wake up before my alarm clock but InstaSleep has helped me stay asleep until it goes off. I also feel refreshed and ready for work. I have tried other remedies and still feel lethargic. I highly recommend this product. InstaSleep has been a savior.

Much better than melatonin, which simultaneously doesn't work as well and leaves me groggy in the morning. InstaSleep worked, helped me sleep, without grogginess when I woke up. Definitely recommend.Edit: The company is also very good with resolving issues. Amazon sent me one pack when I ordered two; when I communicated with the company, they sent me two packs free of charge to resolve the issues.

This seems to help this 'chronic insomniac' that has trouble getting to sleep, not staying asleep. No side effects noticed after two days. Tastes pretty good and I do not care for mint. Very subtle. I do not think it is the melatonin as even at 20mgs it does nothing. I also get a melatonin hang over from others. I have been able to get off of Ambien and Halcyon rx's.
