![]() Whether I was building a tolerance to them or there was another explanation is impossible to say. In terms of my sleep, I did wake up a little more often than the previous nights, and my total sleep started to drop down again. So either it was a one-off or perhaps down to my gym session. However, I had no repeat of the headache or any other side effects. This sometimes happens with sleep aids you’re fine for a couple of nights, but then side effects creep in and start to build over time. A milder effect, but no side effects on nights 6 and 7Īfter my headache during night five, I wondered if it was the beginning of ongoing side effects. I did work out hard in the gym in the evening, so there’s a chance I was a little dehydrated during the night.īut I don’t usually get that kind of headache though, so I suspect the ZzzQuil Pure Zzzs had something to do with it. On night five, I slept well but woke up with an unpleasant headache. And again, I slept reasonably well each night, with no side effects. I took the same dosage around the same time for the next three nights. ![]() ![]() I had no fuzzy head in the morning either, as is often the case with prescription sleep aids and many common over the counter antihistamine sleep aids. No vivid dreams (a possibility with the ingredients of melatonin and valerian). No side effects so farĪs far as I could tell, I had no side effects that night. And that’s a good night’s sleep for me considering how often I sleep for less than seven hours. I slept for 7.5 hours in total that night and had no significant wakings. I do feel I was a bit drowsy after around 40 minutes, though I was tired anyway so I can’t be sure it was the Pure Zzzs. First nightĪfter taking them, I read in bed for a while. And there’s also the 100 mg blend of botanicals (see ingredients below). On the plus side, the melatonin content is 2 mg, which although still higher than some sleep experts would recommend, is more reasonable than the huge 10 mg dose that some sleep aids have. I’m not a fan of adding sugar to sleep aids – not only does it make you want to brush your teeth again if you already did, but I think it makes them too appealing to children. I took two, immediately noting that they both taste good and are very sugary.Įach gummy has 2.5 grams of added sugars, so five grams in a full dosage. The instructions tell you to take one to two gummies 30 minutes before bedtime. And I’ll also take a closer look at the ingredients and safety advice if you plan on using them too. In this review, I’ll talk about my experience trying ZzzQuil Pure Zzzs. It’s always tricky to be sure if it’s the sleep aid working or the placebo effect, but I do feel I slept better when taking them.Īs for criticisms, for me the main issue was the sugar content – 5 grams per dosage. The short summary is that they seemed to work well for me, as has been my experience with melatonin in the past. ![]() It’s important to note that this version is different from ZzzQuil Nighttime, which contains an antihistamine instead. The active ingredients are melatonin, valerian, chamomile, lemon balm, and lavender. For the past week, I’ve been testing ZzzQuil Pure Zzzs – one of several over the counter sleep aids made by Vicks.
