For Insomnia "Nytol. Where do I begin? If I could give less than 1, I would. By far the worst thing I ever tried. I suffer from mild insomnia. It takes a long time for me to fall asleep and then I wake most nights 3-4 times, zapping in and out of light sleep. I decided to try these as my mum swears by them. I took it an hour before bed as suggested. About 2 hours later, still awake, the restless legs started. I never suffered with this before. It lasted until 4:30 am. Never have I been so frustrated trying to sleep. I tried again the second night. It was WORSE! What a waste of money, don't bother."

For Insomnia "I usually use the Tesco brand sleep tabs, and they work fine. Tesco had run out, so I paid for Nytol. Took one the first night and couldn’t sleep, felt like I had taken speed, restless legs, the lot. Was awake until 1:30 ish. Next night was worse. Put in bin, do not use."

For Insomnia "I have tried Nytol a few times, and oddly enough, it seems to act as a stimulant rather than a sleep aid. Totally wide awake and restless legs to boot! Joy. Nightnurse is the only thing that works for me every time, but getting it regularly from a pharmacy is difficult, as you have to have cold and flu symptoms for them to give it to you. Tablet form works best if you can get it."

For Insomnia "I took one Nytol last night. I won't do so again. Like other posts on here, I was still wide awake at 4 a.m. I also had restless legs, and my arms and hands felt like they were aching through to the bone."

For Insomnia "Wish I had read these reviews before trying Nytol. Took at 10:30 PM, an hour before I turn the light out… It’s now 1:11 AM and I’m wide awake with restless legs! I can always fall asleep but only for 4 hours, then up for 2 hours. What is going on?"

For Insomnia "I have mild, occasional insomnia, always in and around a full moon. Decided to try Nytol. Bad mistake. I tossed and turned, and my legs took on a life of their own as Restless Leg Syndrome completely took over me. My legs danced a jig worthy of Riverdance as I struggled to contain them and try to find sleep. The remaining Nytol tablets went straight into the bin this morning. Insomnia is one thing - out of control legs is another thing completely."

For Insomnia "Absolute rubbish, should not be sold as a sleeping aid. It kept me more awake and caused restless legs."
