#SleepLovers

Alright, fellow #SleepLovers. Here's the deal: I love sleep. It's probably one of my favorite past times. Going to bed early, sleeping in, napping, I love it all. I'm the girl that would cancel fun plans because I had the opportunity to lay in bed and do nothing.

With that said: I suck at sleeping. Mostly sleeping during the night. It takes me probably 20 minutes to fall asleep and I'm guaranteed to wake up at least 2-3 times for no reason whatsoever. And no, don't tell me to "stop napping" because I've tried it all. Not napping, no caffeine, less sleep the night before, no electronics before bed, prescription sleeping pills. Nothing seems to work great.



Enter: ZzzQuil. I was given a sample of ZzzQuil from Influenster to test out and review. It came with 2 pills to take at bedtime with the idea that it would help you fall asleep faster (it didn't mention anything about staying asleep longer), and that you should plan to get at least 7-8 hours of sleep.

It did, in fact, help me fall asleep faster. There wasn't any drastic change, but I can tell that it made me more sleepy so I was able to fall asleep faster. I checked my sleep tracker on my FitBit app, and I fell asleep about 4 minutes quicker than average. Overall, though, I got about the same amount of total sleep with the same amount of awake/restless minutes.

Overall, I'm not planning on purchasing the product. It's not worth my money to save a few minutes to fall asleep.

With that said, I will continue to search for every napping opportunity that presents itself to me.

Thanks, Influenster!

*Happy napping, friends!*
