Sleep disregulation is found in 80% of people diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder. I am an adult with ADHD and autism, and I struggle with severe insomnia and restless leg syndrome. My brain doesn't shut off and I can't stop tossing and turning. To make things worse, autism can come with severe medication sensitivities, unexplained by pharmacogenetic tests; we're just more sensitive to a lot of things, including medicines considered mild/safe like this.I have been unable to take many medications in the past including melatonin, but anything stronger or prescription is also not an option, given the safety and efficacy of melatonin -- if melatonin is "too harsh" than anything else would be too. Years ago I had tried 1.5 mg, but it was too much and gave me adverse side effects (unable to drive the next day, or stand without wobbling) so I thought melatonin wasn't going to ever be an option for me. But lately my insomnia has been terrible; 3-4 hours per night if I'm lucky, some nights going without sleep at all. I must work to survive, and then after work, I can't manage to nap either. I had to try again, with a minimal dose.So... children's melatonin. 0.5 mg. This Natrol brand looked the most reputable because it contains organic ingredients without artificial sweeteners/flavors/preservatives. The artificial sweeteners part is especially important for me because sucralose (Splenda) and agave nectar make me ill as well, and sucralose is the go-to artificial sweetener for most products nowadays. Colorants like Red 40 may worsen ADHD symptoms, so Natrol using fruit/vegetable juice to add color is appreciated. The Sleep+Calm variety tastes like children's fruit gummies, strawberry, not like medicine at all.I initially tried 0.5 mg of the Natrol Kids Sleep + Calm gummies at 3 pm, knowing I had to work the next morning and giving myself ample time to clear it out of my system. I could feel it work in about 15 minutes, getting rid of my racing thoughts and restless leg, making me comfortably drowsy. I was able to fall asleep in about 40 minutes which cuts a couple hours off of the usual amount of time it takes. The next morning, I was still a bit more tired than usual, but okay. From then on I began taking half of one of the gummies, just 0.25 mg.0.25 mg actually seems to be the perfect amount I needed to prevent adverse side effects, while reducing the problems I'm having falling asleep. My mind stops wandering and I can physically relax. I have been able to take 0.25 mg before bed, nightly, and reliably fall asleep within the hour.Honestly, thank you. You don't know how much of a relief this is.Edit, months later: Because I was been taking .25 mg, my body has adjusted to the melatonin and I'm now able to take 0.5 mg at night without side effects. It continues to work well.Edit #2: I bought a different variety, the Natrol Kids Sleep. It is berry flavored, rather than strawberry, and it does not taste as great.

Magic! Simply magic! We have a ten year old son who's had trouble sleeping for as long as we can remember. We recently moved into a new house and its amplified the anxiety for him at night. He would take hours to fall asleep ( with someone sitting with him) and would wake up multiple times throughout the night to the point he would end up sleeping on our floor or one of us on his floor. He says he's scared but can't say what of, and he can't turn his brain off. He would be in bad moods everyday and very emotional from lack of sleep. We finally bought these, gave him 2 30 minutes before bed and he was asleep within 30 minutes of lying down. He woke up once at 4am and I simply tucked him back in and he was back asleep in seconds. No groggy hangover in the morning either.These gummies work! He said they tasted great and were soft and easy to chew. Had a fruity smell.I think they're a great value and worth every single penny. If you have a troubled sleeper, I would absolutely try them! Highly highly highly recommend!!!!

My son loves these!! He is 5 years old and has struggled with sleep his whole life. Now that he is in kindergarten, he still is taking hours to fall asleep. I decided to try these. He says they are yummy and he falls asleep within 10-15 minutes!!

These worked amazing! Even my ADHD child went to sleep peacefully after taking one of these and no other melatonin or sleep aid has ever helped him. My husband and I both took these as well and they helped us relax and sleep. It’s a very low dose and it still works . The only negative thing I would say is more from a personal perspective; it sort of made ME feel like I had took a drug or something, like an edible, or like I was drunk. And I do neither thing so I felt a bit strange. BUT that being said, I slept great.

This seems to work well for my 5 year old son in getting him to a calm state before bed. He doesn’t mind the taste and looks forward to taking them

Preferred product over most brands. Sleep is better taste good , inexpensive , lasts long , no groggy feeling the next day.Works great for kids & adults !

Livfe saver. My daughter had the worst time wanting to stay up and argue, talk, complain, cry..... for years and years. I didn't know WHAT TO DO!!! I was desperate for help. I purchased these to see if they would help to calm her and I can not explain how magical they are. They don't make her feel hung over in the morning either. Just a nice calming feeling that allows her mind to calm and stop having to over think at bedtime. Try them! She likes them when they are a little harder (after they have been opened for awhile) she loves the flavor.
