Hi out there! I can't believe it's already the last day of April. I've said this before, but this year is just FLYING by so far! There has been so much to do in so little time thus far, and it's been leaving me just short of exhausted. I am a fairly light sleeper and picky about my sleeping conditions- so between hosting guests and traveling, I've slipped into a serious sleep debt to my body. Thankfully, I was given the opportunity to try out Vita Sciences Maxasorb Melatonin Cream just in time!
Melatonin is a chemical that we naturally produce which regulates our sleep cycle. I don't have a deficiency that I'm aware of, but I definitely have a harder time falling asleep in the past few years that I ever have before. I've seen melatonin capsules at the pharmacy before, but have been weary about taking sleeping supplements. I am a bad sleeper anyways, and didn't want to become dependent on a pill just to fall asleep. Many of the supplements contain other chemicals as well, and I'm not one to just fill myself with unnecessary chemicals and hope that they help. I was so intrigued by the idea of a melatonin cream, I couldn't wait to try it!
It is so easy to use- I rub one pump of the creamy lotion on my legs before I crawl into bed on nights when I need a little help falling asleep. No matter how tired I am when I get into bed, I seem to do the same song and dance that prolongs my sleep every night. I normally toss and turn around in my bed for a while before getting comfortable. Once I'm finally settled in, it takes me additional time to shut my brain down from the day and relax into sleep. When I use my Maxasorb Melatonin Cream, I significantly reduce the amount of time between snuggling in and falling asleep. It's been amazing for me! I've noticed that when I have more restful sleep, it's easier for me to get up in the morning to start my day. Any changes in the morning are huge for me, as I'm not exactly a morning person as it is (read more about my morning routine here).
I honestly was a little skeptical about a topical melatonin treatment, but am so glad that I decided to give it a try. I don't feel dependent on it at all and am happy with the results when I use it. The lotion is smooth without leaving your skin greasy and is odorless, making it easy to use before bed. Here's to many more restful nights! Interested in getting some for yourself?

Have you used any melatonin products? Do you have any secrets for falling asleep quickly?

I was super curious about this... Do you feel groggy in the morning when you wake up? Melatonin puts me into a sleep coma, so I'm a little nervous to try it!
I have only used it about 5 times, and only felt groggy once. I didn't sleep well that night, so I think it was unrelated to the cream. I have heard that about the pills, but I've yet to try those!
I'm usually a generic sleeping pill person, but this cream seems so perfect! The variety of topical supplements is amazing these days!

I am actually reviewing this cream on Saturday.
ReplyDeleteI have lots of trouble getting to sleep too and was skeptical to try it out as well.
