The Solution to Our 1 AM Bedtime

A few months ago, I woke up at 1 AM to the sound of my daughter playing and talking. When I went in her room, I was surprised to find that she never went to sleep! It’s not the only time that she has stayed up later than her bedtime. She has always struggled getting to sleep at night.

We’ve tried many things in the past, but nothing helped. I knew I had to do something more to prepare for the holidays around the corner. After all, Halloween is on a school night this year and is in the middle of the week! On top of that, we have many events and parties in the upcoming months. There’s Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years… you get the point. 

I heard about Natrol recently launching a Kids Melatonin product to help safely and effectively promote restful and healthy sleep for ages 4 and up. I knew that this could be the perfect solution to our problem! It’s free of artificial colors, flavors, and preservatives, 100% drug free, non habit forming, non-gmo, and vegetarian. All of these are important factors for our family, and a must have when we are looking for a new product. 

Natrol Kids Melatonin comes in two forms, a gummy and a quick dissolving tablet. With my daughter being a huge fan of gummies, it was the first option we tried. I opened the box of gummies and immediately smelled a delicious berry aroma. The kind that makes your mouth water. I noticed the fun dotted pattern on top and it’s the perfect texture. The not too chewy, but not too squishy kind. It tasted just as good as it smelled! My daughter was more than excited to give it a try, and she ate her gummy before we began our nighttime routines. 

After bathtime and bedtime stories, I was surprised to find that my daughter was already ready to go to sleep! There was no fighting and no getting up a million times for different things. Best of all, she had a good night’s sleep. The next morning when my daughter woke up, she was ready to take the day on!  There have been many times before when I knew she didn’t get a good night’s sleep, and getting her up was a nightmare. 

Now, If our routine is different, we have an event, or a party, my daughter gets her 1mg gummy of Natrol Kids Melatonin before our nighttime routine starts. She calls them her special gummies and I don’t have to worry about her being ready for bedtime. It’s the perfect solution to occasional sleeplessness and she loves it! There is no fights, no struggle, and no one up at 1 AM any more. 

Natrol Kids Melatonin has become the perfect fit for our family. Natrol is the #1 melatonin brand in America, helping millions of people sleep each year**. Find out more about Natrol Kids Melatonin, and get a $2 coupon here.
