5.0 out of 5 stars Actually works, February 14, 2009

I was a little hesitant about buying this...I half expected this to be another scam product that was featured on TV. But, I was tired (no pun intended) of tossing and turning, and didn't want to use prescription pills to get to sleep. This stuff actually works! It says to take 2 pills before you want to sleep, but I usually take 1. I only take it when I can't sleep, so I'm already in bed, but it works pretty quick. I not only fall asleep quickly, but do not wake up during the night. When I wake up, I don't feel groggy or hungover, like I thought I would. By the way, I rarely write reviews, but I saw a few negative reviews on amazon and thought I'd share mine. I don't know if it works for everyone, but it's pretty cheap here so it's worth a shot.

5.0 out of 5 stars Have tried others, this is the best!, April 22, 2010

I started having to take sleeping pills 5 months ago - my boyfriend starting working very long hours, and would come home and snore. I needed to get to sleep and STAY asleep! I started off with regular ole cheap sleeping pills (Unisom/Nytol) but became worried after reading about the side effects of the chemicals in these pills, so went looking for a natural solution.

My first find was SleepMD. Melatonin and valerian are the main ingredients. I had too many strange dreams from the melatonin, and was also still a little tired the next day. It was better than nothing, but was not worth the cost. I don't recommend melatonin for most people. I actually did a research paper on it in college and the horrid nightmares that some people get will counteract restful sleep you may get. Also, this is a little expensive at around 70 cents a pill/dose.

I then encountered Alteril at Wal-Mart and grabbed it. L-tryptophan was listed as a main ingredient, and I KNOW this works on me (hello Thanksgiving turkey!). There is a miniscule amount of melatonin in this product, which made me very happy. The dosage for this product is actually 2 pills, BUT that dosage was actually TOO strong for me... I had too much trouble getting up in the morning, so have since dropped it to 1 pill and it's PERFECT. This brings this down to only 41 cents a pill/dose, much cheaper than SleepMD!

I have also recently tried Dream Water (you can buy from their website) - this does NOT work very well and is very expensive at $3.25 per little shot. It's very weak and not worth the money. It also took a long time to work...

Main Points about Alteril:
* This product is stronger than others I've tried... I only need to take 1 pill instead of the recommended 2 pills
* This products WORKS, and works in the time it says it will work (1 hour)!!! The most restful sleep I've ever gotten, and I don't wake up! No bad dreams since the melatonin level is so low. It's the L-tryptophan that makes this product shine
* With 2 pills, was very hard for me to get up out of bed in the mornings. With 1 pill, I'm groggy for maybe 10 minutes after I get up, but then FULL of energy for the remainder of the day
* I love that this is an all-natural sleep aide - no fear of becoming addicted or chemical side effects like non-natural sleeping pills are associated with
* I have SOO much more energy and zest each day now... getting better/deeper sleep has changed my entire world, even moreso than eating correctly and exercising have done. I rarely need to drink coffee anymore to wake up in the mornings either!!

This is a wonderful product! I love trying out new consumer products constantly, UNTIL I've found one that works well (which is rare), but I love Alteril and will continue purchasing and recommending it.

Sleep is VERY important, I'd start here first and then move to exercising, it's a simple painless change you can make that will change your life!! From SELF magazine 04/22/2010: "Getting up multiple times during the night is annoying, no doubt, but it might also harm your health. Rising many times before the morning appears to alter the body's natural pain-control mechanisms, contributing to backaches, headaches and muscle soreness, a study in Sleep notes"

5.0 out of 5 stars Depends on the person?, May 5, 2009

On another site, the reviews were similar to here. Everyone was saying something different! There were very outrageous claims on the other site--here they are a little more balanced.

For me, this product has been a dream (HA!). I used to not be able to get to sleep before 5:30 AM sometimes, and had to take odd naps at strange hours, and woke up off and on. I began to feel very unbalanced. I bought this product and now sleep very peacefully ALL NIGHT and wake up totally fine! I embrace the day, the exact opposite of before. I go to sleep at roughly 1 AM now.

I do recommend this--however, as we see, it seems to vary from person to person. It is best to do some balanced research first.
