"i usually work a 10 hr shift in the afternoon but my boss has changed my saturday shift to 5am-1pm. we live on a farm and have 3 outside dogs that like to bark at night.  the first morning shift i only got 2 hrs sleep because of our dogs. i purchased zzquill to get some help falling asleep the night before my morning shifts. i took the recommended dose (2pills) at 8pm. i went to bed at 8:30. i didn&#039;t feel any effect from the medication until almost 10:30!! and then i woke up again at 12:30am! i do not recommend zzquill if you want to fall asleep quickly and stay asleep."
