Shut Eye Natural Sleep Aid Supplement for Adults | 5mg Melatonin | Helps Relax and Promote Natural Deep Sleep with Valerian Root, Chamomile & Magnesium | Vegan & Non-GMO | 60 Capsules

I've been desperate for sleep - my sleep has been terrible for years. I've tried everything - prescriptions, which work for awhile, sure, but then you need more and more for them to be effective, and run into trouble with that, of course - so I've been weening myself off of the prescriptions, and trying to find something that helps me get good sleep PERIOD. I read the reviews on this, and as you can see, many people say it works. I was skeptical, because Lord knows I've tried SO many OTC "sleep" aids (I know people that say benadryl works for the, but it doesn't touch me in the least - good for them though, right?), and been disappointed. I was happy to try this out. I can tell you I have never slept better. Soon as I hit the bed, I'm out compared to taking forever to fall asleep (WOW!), and, when I wake up like I always do several times a night (sensitive bladder), I fall asleep like BOOM. It's really something else. And I wake up around the same time every morning, and no hangover at all. Now, I must admit something - I don't know if it's a correlation, whether it's this product or the fact that I underwent a kind of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy thing for sleep without meaning to starting Feb 15 and going trough March 19. I was in Florida, and had a problem with my shoulder, and ended up finding this wonderful acupuncturist who said he'd take me as a new patient but his hours were inflexible. My first appointment was at 10 AM on Saturday, a time I NEVER would have taken because I never could wake up in time to make an appointment at that time - but I was in severe pain and it was 10 or nothing, so I got up and went. He wanted to see me Sat, Tues and Thursdays, 3x a week with the average time to show up being 9:15!!! This doctor helped my shoulder so much, that I no longer cared that I had to get to bed early and get up in order to drive to his office for the appointment time.. but I did it - it was tough work, and when I got home from FLA (driving instead of flying, this was the dawning of COVID19 for us in particular who'd been having a good old time on vacation in FLA, not watching the news.. omg!)... I wanted to keep it going. I got these pills last week, and I'm sleeping really well. Some people would say that a ROUTINE of getting up every day at the same time is what works, no matter what time you go to bed, and I've been doing that since Feb 15 - so I don't know. I also take other things along with this (the more the merrier, right?) Melatonin under the tongue which I took before this and it really doesn't work, but I take them anyway since I have them, CBT by Elevator Supply, 60 mg, a chewy thing which is mostly sugar, but I am using up that bottle too, - there's an OTC drug called LUNA that I bought that didn't seem to make a difference, and I pop one of those too... and I'm titrating down off my prescription medicine at the same time. I used to take a .5 mg or Lorazepam or 2.5 mg of Ambian sometimes to help me fall asleep, but I haven't had to use those for over 3 weeks. Go figure. It's easier to try this pill than it is to implement CBT, so try this first, and if it doesn't work, find someone who will make you WANT to do CBT therapy because it's HARD WORK. I had total faith in this doctor to help me with my partially torn rotator cuff while I was in Florida, so I looked forward to seeing him. He really helped me with my shoulder, but I got the added bonus of a regular sleep schedule too. Good luck!~Stay well!~Wash Your Hands~Remember you can have the virus, not know you have it for up to 12 days, and be passing it to everyone whereever you go, so Stay Home for your protection and the safety of others, especially the more vulnerable precious ones in our society. Thank you

Shut-Eye helps calms my brain so I can fall asleep at night. I take two, don't worry about trying to fall asleep, and before I know it I am asleep. The melatonin triggers the initial sleep response, while the 5HTP converts to melatonin (as needed), prolonging the sleep response; the GABA and L-theonine calm racing thoughts, and the herbals help calm my brain down. (The magnesium supports in many ways, from calming the nervous system to reducing circulating cortisol to supporting the absorption and uptake of the amino acids.) Occasionally, I wake during the night and take 1-2 more to help me get back to sleep easily. The only time (at night) that this doesn't work for me is when I haven't been getting good sleep on a regular basis: Contrary to popular belief, melatonin doesn't directly trigger a sleep response; it triggers normal nighttime behavior. (Even mice manufacture melatonin before waking to a night of foraging.) So if your last several nights have been late or lacking in sleep, melatonin can actually trigger your body to continue that unwanted response. Normally, it doesn't take me long to break out of a cycle like this, either naturally or with the aid of some mitochondrial support. Long-term, I know that the way to restore my neurotransmitter and adrenal function is to heal my gut and microbiome, detoxify, and develop better sleep habits (less blue light in the evenings, earlier bedtime), but there are so many factors that can affect sleep, and sleep affects everything else, so taking Shut-Eye to support my sleep is one of my primary health strategies. I wish it didn't contain dextrose as a moisture control, but I prefer it to the previous rice flour.

Among all the sleep aids particularly on Amazon, I've found this one to be the best. Especially in terms of ingredients, compared to "Luna" which is supposedly currently the #1 most rated sleep aid product on Amazon it doesn't compare to the cost per quality ingredients and dosage found in Nuvana's Shut Eye. Although it's not super expensive I just wish it were somewhat cheaper for a 1 month supply bottle; but I can also understand the cost of what goes into providing this product which of course the cost per quantity vs quality is a dilemma some may face. I prefer an all natural non habit forming remedy source to insomnia and this is the one if you're looking to go beyond just taking melatonin. The extra ingredients found in this product help with mood and nervousness or anxiety as well as helping you fall asleep more soundly and upon waking up helping you to feel more refreshed and ready to start your day! There may be many elements that go into a good nights sleep such as a comfortable bed and pillow, but Nuvana Shut Eye should be on the top of that list whether you have trouble falling asleep like I do or just want to sleep and feel better like I do! Don't just take my word for it though, try it out for yourself and see what you think!

I have been a severe chronic insomnia my entire life. No one can understand how miserable insomnia is until you experience it yourself. It leaves you with brain fog and debilitating fatigue; every aspect of your life suffers. Insomnia, resulting from the hyper vigilant state severe PTSD brings, made sleeping for me virtually impossible. I have tried MANY various herbal remedies, desperate to find something that actually helps and despaired of finding a night time supplement that would actually work. I have purchased several on Amazon. The last one I tried before Nuvana Shut Eye was so worthless I did not even take advantage of that company's free bottle offer. A product is pretty worthless if you do not want another bottle for free.I began carefully looking and found Nuvana Shut Eye. I researched the ingredients carefully. I was skeptical but the ingredients of Shut Eye impressed me and it's formulation showed it may be the supplement I was looking for.From the very first night, Nuvana Shut Eye helped me tremendously. I can now get extended, quality sleep with Shut Eye. Within minutes of taking Shut Eye, I actually feel myself relaxing and am able to fall asleep. And the sleep is deep and natural, not that knocked out feeling you get with Diphenhydramine.Without anything, I was unable to get to sleep until 4:00 or 5:00 am and slept about 3 hours. If I took OTC Diphenhydramine, it left me groggy and only helped some nights. Plus, I am well aware of the negative effects Diphenhydramine has on the brain. It, in addition to Glycine and NAC, has rewarded me with an actual 7 to 8 hours of deep relaxing sleep. I am very happy to have found this product. And all the offers of free bottle in the world would not cause me to write a review if a product is worthless and does not work.

I have taken a few different sleep aids prior to this, but none have been so effective. Shut Eye promotes a calmness without forcefully knocking you out. I feel much more refreshed than I have with any other product, some of which left me groggy and spacey the next day. The blend of ingredients are all things that I've read good things about and had intended to take as a supplment for general well-being, such as GABA and 5-HTP, but also has L-theanine, which has worked wonders for my anxiety, as well as some great herbs like chamomile and lemon balm (this list is not exhaustive.) I've had such success with it that I urged my mom to order it for my dad, who also struggles with sleeping well at night. I would recommend potential customers to research the blend of ingredients for yourself, as they are well-researched and show efficacy. I cannot recommend this product highly enough.

I am not one to ever write reviews, but felt inclined to rave about this product! I am a 31 year old healthy 5’3 female. This is relevant when you hear the amount of sleep aids I take a night. I have been taking over the counter sleep aids for about 9 years. Every night I was taking around 6-8 50mg unisom along with 3-4 10mg melatonin. On top of that, I would take a 200mg 5-HTP pill. I was not getting the sleep I desperately needed and was laying in bed for up to 4 hours after taking that many pills and would still wake up multiple times a night. After so many years of being on sleep aids, I’ve pretty much tried them all. So one night, I’ve decided to scour Amazon looking for a sleep aid that had positive reviews. I saw the Nuvana Shut Eye and was intrigued with the fact it had 5-HTP in it already. I figured I’d give it a try, since that could cut out buying extra 5-HTP. I honestly LOVE this stuff! I have been taking it for a week now and while I do still take 4 of my 50mg Unisom, I am AMAZED I have been able to cut that down so low, while completely eliminating the melatonin and 5-HTP pills. I now feel sleepy within 45mins - an hour from taking them and sleep restfully, only waking up a couple of times per night. While these effects may not seem that great to others with mild sleep problems, I can assure you, that as someone who has struggled with such horrible insomnia for so many years, I am beyond thrilled with this progress! If it works this well for me, I can only imagine how great it would work for someone who just needs occasional help sleeping.

Product not as good as I expected.

I have been having a lot of trouble sleeping this summer (I just finished a particularly grueling year of graduate school). I can’t take melatonin, and didn’t want to go on prescription sleep aids. I tried Shut Eye and love it! For me it took a little more than a week to really start working but I think that is because I had had so much trouble sleeping up to that point. I love that it’s natural and that I don’t need to take it every night (I don’t like dependence on any sort of pills). My one complaint is that I notice when I don’t take it I tend to immediately have trouble sleeping, so if I forget to take it at a reasonable hour I will have trouble sleeping that night. But otherwise I have no complaints and will be ordering it again. Thank you for helping me finally sleep!!
