SleepBoost™, a rare Xylaira nigripes fungi supplement blend. May support a sense of Calm through natural neuro pathways

Only used it 3 times so far, but so far I am favorably impressed. I had been waking up during the night (usually around 2 AM or so). My other goal from using the product is to wake up in the morning feeling refreshed, energized and restored. I think maybe I have seen a small improvement in this regard so far. I have noticed that I wake up with a better sense of what I have been dreaming about so maybe getting more of the REM sleep which I think has some health benefit. With age, we have a harder time falling asleep and more trouble staying asleep than when we were younger. When we sleep, we cycle through multiple stages during the night, including periods of active dreaming called REM sleep (Rapid Eye Movement), and dreamless periods of light and deep sleep, or non-REM sleep. On average, this cycle repeats itself about every 90 minutes.

Pros: -At high dose, it helps with sleep latency and REM/Deep sleep cycles (I use a sleep app paired with my Apple watch) -Appreciate it's one ingredient and not one of those blends so I can choose exactly how to dose Cons: -At recommended dosage, it did nothing for me. I did more googling and found that some users found better effects at much larger doses. -At my dose, I go through a bottle every 10 days. For this reason, I think they should offer a discount if you buy additional bottles.

So I have been taking the supplement for some time now and it literally has had zero effect on my sleep. It states to take one to three pills, and I have been taking three of them every day. The results are very much like a placebo. Not something I could recommend if you're looking to improve your quality of sleep or lack thereof.

This herb seems to be working in a subtle fashion. I sleep soundly and awake suddenly feeling awake. I often have issues with waking up throughout the night, sometimes often, which is my main concern of late. I do use a natural sleep combination that helps me fall asleep and my protocol for waking up was to take another. I have not had to take a second dose, as I am not waking up. I can't attribute this to anything else since this is the only new product I'm taking. I take it about an hour or two before I go to bed and I take the sleep aid at my bedside table and take it once I am in bed. I have not noticed anything else. The capsules have no odor or taste that is really noticeable, and they are easy to swallow. I haven't had any gastric issues or digestive issues since starting this product. I think that if you have an issue with waking up or staying asleep, this may be a product to try. 4 stars. I'll update after using it for a prolonged period. This is my observation after using it for 4 or 5 days. I do think I have been sleeping earlier, getting up earlier, and I am drinking less coffee. I don't know if this is related.

I LOVE this product. I'm about to head to sleep now, and I am so grateful that this random termite mound fungi exists, has been discovered by people, and created into this product by Nature Restore. It has changed my sleeping situation around. It took some time, but after a month a noticed the results on comparison. There is a lot that goes into good sleep, that's just the reality - this is not a tranquilizer, or a magic sleeping pill. But it has most definitely increased my GABA, judging by the much better quality sleep I get. I buy it every month! Thank you Nature Restore!
