Good quality, but more expensive than it needs to be.
I’ve tried a lot of sleep aids. I take melatonin as well, so I got this version without it to see how the other ingredients fared. I found I didn’t wake up as often through the night. That was definitely nice over the month I took these.The problem is - $40 a month is pricey. If you take away the usage of “proprietary,” and simply look at the ingredients, the price should be around $22-25 a bottle (that’s including a 14% profit margin, which is pretty good). Right now, comparing brands with comparable ingredients and quantity, but without knowing the exact production costs, average profit margin for Amazon’s top 3 bestselling non-Melotinin containing sleep aids is at the 13-16% range. As of now, Proper is close 28%, which is very high, dare I say prohibitively high on a monthly basis.Oh, and the pills in the bottle smell good (as opposed to most) but that’s because they actually have a scent packet and desiccator inside the bottle!Dear Proper: Cut down on manufacturing/production if your higher profit margin is needed to necessitate the fancy blue bottles. They’re nice, but not $40 with tax nice. Do yourself a favor by doing us a favor, and let’s all sleep a little better at night.

Try the sample pack before you commit
I am a chronic insomniac (like for 30 years). I tried the sample pack (5 days each of each formula). Core Sleep is definitely for me; the others, not so much. It does not help me fall asleep faster, but as far as staying asleep, this is a game changer for me. I normally toss and turn all night, am awake for hours on end, but this is my second month taking this and I have good sleep, with dreams and everything and there is NO next day grogginess.

Best Night's Sleep I Can Remember!
I am a Proper Sleep believer!I have had trouble sleeping for as long as I can remember. My issues have generally been falling asleep and then staying asleep more than a few hours. I generally wake up at 4 or 5am and then toss and turn until I get up.I have been using proper for the last few weeks. I use the supplement 20-30 minutes before going to bed and have found myself slipping into a peaceful sleep I cannot remember having since college. More importantly, I stayed asleep for longer and woke up feeling rested. It is life changing! I wake up with more energy and focus and feeling ready to take on the day.Thank you Proper!

Finally, something to make you feel like you actually slept last night
I've been using this product for 6 days straight so I want to start off by saying I've become far more productive in my daily life in the little time I've used Proper. Don't take this expecting a miracle though--it improves your actual sleep, but it's not a pill that will knock you out cold, and I think that's one of the benefits of taking natural supplements over traditional drugs.These pills smell like peppermint or lemon and are very easy going down (no holding your nose!). After about a half hour, you'll want to start heading over to bed to get the full effects of Proper.So on the first day, I took these and had one of the most delightful dreams where I was painting a pumpkin. Cut to today, and I've actually finished painting my pumpkins for Halloween! But after a few days my dreams have almost completely vanished, which I think means my body is adapting.I've found that I've become happier and more well rested. Proper does make you slightly sleepy, but it is not a silver bullet for fixing your circadian rhythm.I would 100% recommend this if you want to improve your sleeping and overall quality of life. It has organized my brain and I'm pretty sure it reignited my penchant for creativity. I wake up feeling ready to start the day, and unlike melatonin, I'm not groggy for hours upon waking. Cannot recommend this more to those suffering from lack of or poor quality sleep. This product could not have come at a better time for me.

Staying sleep the whole night, haven't been able to do that in years
I've been using Proper for a week now and my sleep is much deeper than it's been in years. I have a hard time going to sleep and staying asleep (and then get stressed that I can't sleep) and this past week I noticed a huge improvement in both.I never wanted to take prescriptions because of all the side effects so I'm glad there's a much more natural way to help me relax.PS the minty flavor was a fun bonus.

Didn’t work for me. Bummer....
Did not do anything for me. I tried it for over a week and then gave up. It was worth a try...Company gets points for refunding without a hassle.

I was skeptical but...
I've been an insomniac most of my life. I used to just power through but some recent health concerns have made that impossible now. I don't have much of a problem falling asleep but staying asleep is difficult. Can't really explain it, but this stuff has worked for me. I haven't gotten less than 7 hours of sleep pretty night since I started taking it which is a huge improvement for me. Yes, the capsules do have a barnyard smell to them. No flavor, so no problem. These really get the job done. Highly recommended.

Wow
Have been using this for a few days. Sleeping way better. It's like I get a deeper sleep/don't wake up during the night (not so much that I fall asleep faster). A new favorite for sure.
