After months and months of having to work to go to sleep, I tried Knock-Out. I am well pleased. I fall asleep quickly, I sleep soundly and I wake well rested. I typically am hung-over after using a sleep aid; not so with Knock-Out. No restless legs, which can occur with sleep aid use. The tablet has an unpleasant aroma which is addressed on the label. Valerian Root smells foul so I learned to prepare my glass of water, take a big, deep breath and quickly swallow the tablet. There was not an aftertaste, the tablet is easy to swallow. I am very satisfied and look forward to ongoing sound, restful sleep. It is just so nice to be able to sleep!  Read Less

Quick review here for those just needing the basics. More through details to follow for those wanting more specific information. The pills work well, helping me to fall asleep fast but I still have a tendency to wake up early. The worst part is that they stink very badly and are difficult to take because of that. End of general review.In more detail, you take 1-2 tablets. I find that just one works well for me. About thirty minutes after taking the tablet I begin to get a comfortable floaty and tired feeling. It isn't a rough and sudden thing. It's more like easing away on a cloud. Very pleasant feeling. Falling asleep is gentle and easy. I still have a problem with awakening too early but I do not awaken several times a night like I used to. I tried taking two tablets and it did help me sleep longer but it makes it very difficult for me to get up. Once I am awake and up I do not have any hungover or groggy feelings but actually making myself get to that point is a real chore.The pill size is pretty large. Not as big as those cursed potassium pills but still on the larger size. I can swallow pills well so that doesn't bother me. What does get me is the awful stench. These things smell like three day old sweaty gym socks. Fortunately they don't have a lingering taste or odor though so once you get them down you're home free.Benadryl, Tylenol PM and other Diphenhydramine based products leave me feeling groggy and hung over. Doxylamine based products (like Unisom) do not seem to work well for belong me stay asleep. Melatonin alone gives me weird and vivid dreams. Valerian and melatonin seems to be my best combo.This is a good product. It seems to be working. Because of the smell I will probably try another brand if I can find another affordable one with both valerian and melatonin, but I'm not crossing these off my list to possibly purchase again in the future.  Read Less
