Don't Disturb Me Don't Disturb Me! Asphalia Natural Sleep Aid
www.dontdisturbmesite.com
Review by Cathe Olson

I occasionally have trouble sleeping-nights when I wake up at 3 a.m. with my mind racing. And when I travel I rarely sleep well. I don't like to take pharmaceutical sleep aids, however, because of the side effects and who knows what's in them. I have tried several herbal sleep aids, but none have really worked for me.

Melatonin is a natural hormone secreted by the brain's pineal gland when the sun goes down to promote sleep. I'd heard melatonin supplements recommended for several years as a sleep aid, but I was wary because synthetic melatonin is not regulated by the FDA and listed doses may or may not be accurate.  Plus, most commercial products come in dosages that are much higher than the amount of melatonin naturally produced by the body. Don't Disturb Me! differs from other commercial brands of melatonin.  It comes from plant sources and you need much smaller doses to be effective. Also, the meadow grasses it's made from are grown organically, and no colors or preservatives are added to the product.

I tried Don't Disturb Me! on a camping trip last week and even on the hard ground (I forgot my camping pad to put under my sleeping bag), my daughter talking in her sleep, and my husband snoring, I managed to get a good night's sleep. My husband who sometimes has trouble falling asleep has found Don't Disturb Me! effective as well.

Right now, you can get a free sample of Don't Disturb Me! at their Web site at www.dontdisturbmesite.com.
