What Is It?

REMTyme is a natural sleep aid and contains the amino acid L-Theanine, which is found in green tea and thought to trigger the brains calming alpha waves, lulling your mind into a tranquil, relaxed state. Some studies show that L-Theanine is effective in doing just that in as little as 30 minutes. Now that’s fast!

REMTyme’s natural ingredients support a more restful night’s sleep. The product claims to have the following benefits:

•    Eases anxiety and nervousness

The product information also claims that the natural ingredients are non-addictive and avoid the typical “groggy” side effects (or other unpleasant side effects) of prescription or over-the-counter sleep aids. Hooray for all-natural!

What Is It?
Unlike most sleep aids which put you to sleep in a forced way and can become addicting, Forty Winks is all-natural. Instead of waking up the next morning feeling groggy and weak (or with that "dulled senses" feeling), the active ingredients in Forty Winks help you fall asleep easy without dangerous side effect. Not getting enough sleep can cause depression, decreased concentration and alertness, daytime sleepiness, diminished sexual desire, and a poorly functioning immune system; chronic sleep loss can increase the severity of age-related conditions including memory loss, blood sugar imbalances, increased blood pressure, and even weight gain.

What Do They Say it Does?
They told me not to use Forty Winks until 15-30 minutes before bedtime. Why? Because the formula is so powerful it will put you to sleep fast – real fast! Sure enough, I fall asleep within 30 minutes each time. Plus, it’s guaranteed to help you experience sharper thinking and memory, stronger immune function, more energy and zest for life, clear focus and concentration, and increased strength and stamina. Guaranteed in the sense that they offer a money back guarantee!
