Stop struggling and start sleeping! The first of its kind, Dr. Whitaker’s Restful Night Essentials® combines the five best natural sleeping aids into one powerful formula. It goes far beyond an ordinary melatonin supplement and also gives you L-theanine, valerian extract, hops extract, and lemon balm extract—each nutrient backed by science. It’s this unique combination that not only helps you fall asleep faster and enjoy deep, sound sleep all night, but it helps regulate your sleep patterns. And it starts working as soon as the very first night. With Restful Night Essentials, you never feel groggy in the morning either. Instead, you wake energized and feel sharp and motivated all day long! And because it’s a completely natural sleep aid and non-habit forming, you can take it every night without worry. In one nightly dosage, you get:
- Melatonin to regulate your sleep pattern. Starting at around age 40, your levels of melatonin can naturally decline or change its pattern of release. This wreaks havoc on your sleep. When you supplement with melatonin, you’re giving your body back the levels you need to reestablish healthy, normal sleep patterns.
- L-theanine to calm your mind. This amino acid promotes a relaxing effect on the mind, which is critical in falling asleep. Exciting preliminary studies also suggest it helps increase brain alpha-wave activity. This is important because alpha waves are the electrical signals produced by the brain during a relaxed state, including when you’re sleeping.
- Valerian extract to promote sleep and ease frazzled nerves. This fascinating herb has been used since the 1800s for its sleep-inducing and calming benefits. While valerian has an impressive record of traditional use, it’s also gaining the attention of scientists. Research suggests that valerian helps to improve sleep latency (the time it takes to fall asleep) and is closely linked to better sleep quality.
- Hops extract to fall asleep faster. Research suggests that it’s a combination of hops extract and valerian extract that helps to improve sleep, decrease the time it takes to fall asleep, and increase brain alpha-wave activity.
- Lemon balm extract to relieve stress and induce sleep. Used for more than 2,000 years in traditional medicine, this herb helps ease stress and induce sleep. Plus, research suggests that lemon balm exerts a calming, mood-enhancing effect. Again, this is important because it’s critical to relax both your mind and body before sleep.
Why Restful Night Essentials is better:
- It works fast…you feel it working the very first night. There’s no waiting for weeks for it to build in your system like other natural sleeping aids.
- It gives you researched, science-backed nutrients so you can take it with confidence.
- It helps you fall asleep quickly and sleep soundly through the night, without “artificial” drowsiness.
- It is natural and non-habit forming. Take it every night without worry—it’s actually good for you.
- It induces healthy, high-quality sleep—the kind of sleep that recharges your body, energy, and brain.
- You’ll wake up incredibly refreshed—never groggy.

Pleasantly surprised.....
Reviewed by Sleeping Better (Posted on 3/27/11)I was pleasantly surprised by the results. The first night I tried Restful Nights I easily fell asleep. I have tried a variety of sleep-aids over time and this is the first product that's worked on the very first night. I definitely would recommend it to others.

Actually works
Reviewed by Sleepless in Pheonix (Posted on 1/5/11)Rating I mostly only have trouble sleeping during the week because I have to go to sleep earlier and wake up earlier. I've never been a morning person. It always took me 30 - 60 minutes to fall asleep, but on top of that, on weeknights I have ended up waking up constantly throughout the night, tossing and turning, or never even completely fall asleep. At first I didn't notice much change, but after about a week I found that I fall asleep within 10 - 20 minutes and almost always sleep all the way through the night. I still wakeup sometimes, but it's much less frequent and I'm not awake as long, I do have a little bit of trouble waking up in the morning, but I always had some trouble waking up anyway. I'm about to buy more, after using up a 3 month supply.

A must have
Reviewed by marcho (Posted on 1/2/11)Rating I have been taking this for 1 year and would not be without it . If you want a good nights sleep this for you even when you wake-up in the middle of the night and get up and return to your bed you will not have any problems falling back to sleep. Without night essentials I would not be able to do this. Thank-you so much for helping me achieve good night rest and for me to be able to look forward to going to bed and not be worried weather I will sleep or not

Works great for Me
Reviewed by PL (Posted on 12/23/10)Rating I was taking Ambien on a regular basis and did not like doing that. I had tried Melatonin and other sleep aids but they didn't work for me. I tried Restfull Night Essentials and it works great for me. I would reccomend it to anyone before they would settle for Ambien or another prescription drug.

Excellent product
Reviewed by Dori (Posted on 12/9/10)It helped me go to sleep when I couldn't otherwise. I don't need a sleep aid every night--just when I can't sleep. Thanks for sending the sample. Will purchase more after I use these.

so far so good
Reviewed by lindalu (Posted on 12/9/10)Between hormone imbalance and too much on my mind due to work, I toss and turn many nights. I'm usually happy with 5 hours of sleep. I received the free bottle with an order of beauty products and I figured it was worth a shot. So glad I tried it. I've slept peacefully for 4 nights in a row. Thought it couldn't happen. Soooo much better than just melatonin alone. I am placing an order for a month supply and see how if it continues to be effective.

Things that that usually don't work
Reviewed by TJ (Posted on 12/9/10)I have only taken it once. I rarely take sleeping aids even when I need one. They don't help so I don't bother. But, this Restful Night Essentials actually works. I went right to sleep and felt very good the next day.

A very effective product - with one reservation.
Reviewed by pianogirl (Posted on 11/28/10)Rating The product is really effective, and well accomplishes what it claims, namely to afford a good night's sleep without fatigue the next day. If you have been plagued by waking up in the middle of the night worrying about all the tasks and stresses in your life and unable to fall back asleep promptly, try this product. However, I have one quibble. The capsule cases used are apparently of animal derivation - porcine or beef, and I suspect pig. The capsules have an unpleasant odor out of the bottle, and that odor plus the derivation may be offensive to some customers. This is a pity because of the merit of the product. I hope Dr. Whitaker and the manufacturer can consider using vegetarian capsules, as some other companies do.
Valerian Extract: 2.5% valerenic acids
Hops Extract: 1% essential oils
Lemon Balm Extract: 5% rosemarinic acid
