"i go right to sleep upon getting in bed about 11:00 pm but without any sleep aid i usually awake around 3:00 am - 4:00 am.  for the past five years i usually take a half of a 25mg doxylamine succinate tablet before going to bed and that keeps me asleep until shortly before the 6:00 am alarm goes off.  no side effects.  solid sleep.  worth its weight in gold!"
