Ingredients for Getting Sleepy
There are many ingredients in the Getting Sleepy formula that could help you get better rest at night. But before we talk about those, we need to talk about some of the more questionable choices on their ingredients list first. For some inexplicable reason, the Getting Sleepy recipe includes a megadose of vitamin B6. B vitamins, especially vitamin B6, are usually given to people to “cure” lethargy and fatigue – not to “induce” sleep. For example, vitamin B6 is a popular ingredient in energy drinks. And it isn’t just a tiny amount of vitamin B6 either – the formula includes over 500% of the daily recommended value. Needless to say, seeing this ingredient in a sleep aid left our experts scratching their heads.
Another worrisome ingredient included in Getting Sleepy is a 200% dose of zinc. Zinc is essential for healthy hormone function and can produce drowsiness in carefully measured doses. But too much zinc can make you sick, nauseous, give you headaches, make you anemic, and leave a metallic taste in your mouth. If you’re already taking a zinc supplement, or if your body does not tolerate extra zinc, then Getting Sleepy might be a bad supplement for you to take.
To their credit, however, there are many ingredients in Getting Sleepy that may, in fact, help you rest. Melatonin, valerian root, hops extract, chamomile, and magnesium are included in the formula and have a strong reputation for helping people feel sleepy at night. In fact, some of the most popular and effective “natural sleep aids” also include these ingredients.

Side Effects of Getting Sleepy
Overall, it seems as though Getting Sleepy is generally well-tolerated by its users. But there are negative customer reviews which were not so enthusiastic about the product. The biggest complaint that we noticed was from people complaining that the supplement simply didn’t work for them. Beyond that, people complained about the foul taste and one person, who may have been allergic to the ingredients, complained of a burning sensation in their mouth.
How to Buy Getting Sleepy
Getting Sleepy is no longer available for sale on Amazon, although it has been in the past and may be again in the future. The Most reliable way to place an order for the supplement is on the manufacturer’s website. They offer a 2 week “free” trial that costs $4.95 for shipping and handling. Once your trial is over, if you have not cancelled by then, you’ll be charged $84.95 per month for recurring shipments of the supplement and access to their online anti-insomnia program.

Does Getting Sleepy Work?
If we’re talking about the literal feeling of drowsiness taking over your whole body, then of course Getting Sleepy will help you rest better at night. But if we’re talking about the herbal supplement, you may not get the guaranteed results that the manufacturer promises. For starters, given the general consensus about vitamin B6 and its most common uses, it seems like one of the worst ingredients you could possibly add to a sleep supplement. Furthermore, we couldn’t find any advertisements or reliable information about their anti insomnia program, which seems to be the justification for the outrageous $90/month price tag. Lastly, unhappy customers not only complained about the ineffectiveness of the product, but it seems as though some may be vulnerable to mild allergic reactions. For many unhappy customers, Getting Sleepy literally left a bad taste in their mouths.
On the plus side, there are many ingredients in this particular sleep aid which are well-known for alleviating sleep problems. But these ingredients are common in other natural sleep aids for a much smaller price tag. We’ve reviewed several of them, and we encourage you to take a look at our reviews page.
