Natrol Sleeping Aid Review (Tomoson)

Disclaimer: This post contains Amazon Affiliate links.




I received Natrol Melatonin 1mg Fast Dissolve Tablets, Strawberry, 90-Count, in exchange for honest review. I wanted these for myself and for my son. He takes clonindine for sleeping, but if his will power is strong, the clone does not work. After an hour or two, I chase the clone with melatonin. I love different types of melatonin, from dissolvable to liquid to pills to sprays. I experiment with different types and dosages since I know Brad's body can become used to it.

Natrol has developed a strawberry-flavored, fast dissolve melatonin capsule. The pill does work on me and sometimes, it works on Brad. Since it is not a liquid, like I primarily buy, and has a great taste, Brad took to Natrol more than his regular melatonin. He slept for a few hours the first few times, he used it.

Slumber Fit Review (Tomoson)

Disclaimer: This post contains Amazon Affiliate Links.



I received Slumber Fit, in exchange for honest review. Slumber Fit is a natural sleep medication. I wanted to use Slumber Fit for those nights, when I really need to sleep. I am a night owl and it is hard for me to sleep at night. There is so much to do, like write, think, and clean. I can wash clothes and relax, while the kids are sleep. I am also more focused when everything is nice, peaceful, and quiet.

For example, I needed a pill when Kalen had an EEG, last week. I had to get up at 6 am to get Kalen and me ready, while also bathing Brad and laying out his things, for my niece can finish getting him ready for school.

Slumber Fit contains melatonin, a natural sleep aid, which I currently use for my kids. My niece also uses melatonin every now and then.

In my opinion,, Slumber Fit is not the best tasting sleep aid. It is a capsule, which you can break apart and take it as a powder. I have a hard time swallowing pills. For me, it works, but not fast enough. It takes a while to kick in.

Maxasorb Melatonin Cream Review (Tomoson)

Disclaimer: This post also contains Amazon Affiliate links.



I received Maxasorb Melatonin Cream,  in exchange for honest review from Tomoson. The product was created by Vita Sciences.

I have been using melatonin for years, mainly for my son. I have tried liquid (he still uses), pills, gummies (love these), dissolvable pills (love this as well), and dissolvable strips, ranging from 1 mg/ml to 10 mg/ml. I was impressed to find out there was a cream. The cream has been a hit for some family members and a few church members, who want to try out the product on their kids.

The cream is  3 mgs per pump. I use a half pump for my youngest and a few pumps for my oldest, when his prescription sleep meds does not work. I also use a full pump on myself. You can rub the cream on your arms, legs, face, neck, anywhere you choose.

The cream has had mixed results. It works sometimes for me and my oldest son, but perfectly for Kalen, when I need him to sleep for school.

The product also has no scent. The  melatonin is also made from natural products.

You can purchase the cream, using the link above. You can make a one-time purchase or use the subscribe and save option.You also can purchase Vita Sciences Maxasorb Melatonin Sleep Cream 50ml, 1.7 Fluid Ounce on Amazon. The product is prime-eligible.

Somnis Review (Tomoson)

I received Somnis, in exchange for honest review from Tomoson. I wanted to review Somnis as an alternative to melatonin. My son uses melatonin when his Clonindine runs out or it doesn't work. Some days, the melatonin does not affect him either.

I first gave my niece the Somnis. She fell asleep within an hour or two. My son did not try it. I never gave him a capsule before and he was not receptive. He also wasn't receptive to me taking the power out of the capsule. Therefore, I tried it to see how well it works.

Within 15 minutes, I was yawning, but not sleep. Within an hour, I was knocked out sleep. I didn't realize I fell asleep until I checked the time when I woke up. So Somnis is great for when I need to sleep. Great for our next family vacation when we bring everyone.

Somnis does contain melatonin, I believe less than 3 grams.

Deep Sleep Gummies by Natural Dynamix Product Review (Tomoson)

I reviewed Adult Gummy Vitamins in exchange for honest review from Tomoson. The product was developed by Natural Dynamix. I wanted to review the product for two reasons: I need to go to sleep sometimes. Being a night owl sometimes requires me to go to bed early and it's hard to do. The second reason is my 12 year old uses melatonin to sleep. I have tried pills, liquid, and dissolvable melatonin. For the most part, he goes to sleep at night, but other nights, the melatonin does not take and my child is up all night long.

The gummy vitamins contains 5 mg of melatonin, which is the exact amount I give Brad each night. The whole family has been taking these vitamins (people, 12 and over), to the point where my mother bought her own gummy vitamins (not from natural dynamix though).

The first night, my son slept for about 3 hours straight, which is a lot less than he normally sleeps, taking the liquid melatonin. My niece, 15, slept the whole night. She said she woke up refreshed. I also liked the gummies. I slept for about 4 hours straight. My mother slept for about 3 hours straight. I am not sure how many hours my sister slept.


Now on to the issues, I had with the gummies:

  1. The gummies got stuck to each other in the bottle. They did not melt but you had to reach into the bottle and pull them apart to use them. 
  2. You need to put them up high--way high. It is a gummy. Kids may think it is candy. Brad took a few on his own and wanted more. 
  3. You need to hide them from relatives. You also need to use caution. I been using melatonin for a few years now. I normally get them from another website. When I got the gummies, my mother, sister, and niece wanted to try them I am not sure how much is too much for a gummy or any melatonin product. I had one relative, who wanted to take 4 gummies or 20 mg. I never even given Brad 20 mg. I refused to give my mother 20 mgs of melatonin. 
The gummies are 21.99 on Natural Dynamix. The website also sells Kids' gummies in multi-vitamin' calcium and vitamin D; echinacea, vitamin c, and zinc; and omega 3. Other adult gummies on the website include calcium, fiber, omega 3, and the deep sleep. The website also sells sports nutrition products and adult supplements in pills, gummies, and capsules. 

Social Media:




I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.

12/20/12

Today is a windy, super cold day. Brad has went part of yesterday and part of today without his Rispercrap. The results were completely evident. Brad kept attacking his brother via pinching and biting. Brad also had more meltdowns, even with melatonin in his system. I even tried playing the infamous Autism CD by Dr. Bates. I can not stand the sound of rain, but I put up with for the sake of my mental stability. I don’t know what set Brad off but he was jumping on sofas, trying to lay on tables, pulling Kalen’s hair, and a slight bit zombie-ish last night. He was staring off into space (something typical of Kalen. Brad has not done this in a long time). Glad I called the doctor for the rest of his medication. The doctor gave me a two-month supply. I assumed the 4 bottles was a two-month supply. Didn’t realize Dr. D gave a refill, since he don’t normally do this. Dr. D called his morning, told me about the refill, and I quickly called CVS. I asked for the Rispercrap only. The Clonindine can wait (melatonin works better anyway). After a few hours of meltdowns, my mother braved the cold and wind to head to CVS to get Brad’s medication. CVS also refilled the Clonindine, because my mother asked them too. (I hate crushing pills).

Early Intervention went great. Ms. Lisa also came bearing gifts: a giant, 46 piece, floor puzzle, and a bubble gun. Brad was calm during the sessions. He played with Sariyah. Tried to block her from coming into the den, but Riah climbed over him and entered the den anyway. Kalen did some cruising, stacking, and shaking today.

I noticed a few minutes ago, Kalen displayed another sign of Autism--well if not just Brad only. He was banging his head against the wall. Brad was a head banger during the first few years after birth. Glad he grew out of it. Not sure if I am ready for another head banger. I know Kalen has characteristics of Autism, but I am more prepared now at 32 than I was at 21.
