I often have trouble sleeping. For one thing, I'm a natural night owl and always have been. Secondly once I get on the computer, I don't want to get off. It doesn't matter if I'm working on a post, chatting with a friend, or looking up songs on Youtube, I could stay up forever! But sometimes I HAVE to get up early in the morning, and although I find that I can go on very little sleep, I much prefer to get some sleep before a big day. Enter ZzzQuil.
I've been seeing the commercials for ZzzQuil for a while now, and I was really happy to finally get to try it. From Vicks (the makers of Nyquil and Dayquil), ZzzQuil is a sleep aid that is just THAT, a sleep aid. In the past you may have taken cold medicines or pain medicines that you did not need because they contained a sleep aid. But with ZzzQuil you get just the sleep aid, no unneccessary medications.
The medicine comes in liquid form or liquicaps, making it easy for practically anyone to take. I tried the liquid form. It comes in a Berry Flavor. Basically it tastes like cherry cough syrup; at least that is what I'd compare it to. And although I'm kind of a baby when it comes to taking medicines, the taste was okay. I did not cringe or anything when I took it, so in my world that pretty much makes it great! The medicine is also warming. Upon swallowing you immediately feel it warm in your throat, which I like.
And overall, I'd say it is a pretty effective sleep aid. Adults and children over 12 take 2 tablespoons of the liquid or 2 of the 25 mg liquicaps. For me personally, I need to take this medicine about an hour or so before going to bed in order to give it time to kick in, and unlike some sleep aids this one did not completely knock me out, which is on a good thing. But at the same time, until you know how this effects you, I would just say that if you don't have time to truly get a full nights sleep, I would not take this, as it could make your groggy.. Or you could do what I do sometimes, which is to take a half dose.
Has anyone else taken ZzzQuil yet? What was your experience?
