Rad ZZZ Sleep Supplement Review

I’ve tried many things, both prescription and natural, to help with my insomnia so I can fall asleep and stay asleep while using my CPAP machine.

I’ve tried just plain melatonin, sleep gummies, and sleep tea – pretty much anything you can think of. I have had adverse side effects with the prescriptions I’ve tried, like sleep-driving, sleepwalking, and sleep-eating, so I’ve given up on prescription medication for my insomnia.

Trying Rad ZZZ sleep supplement

Recently, I entered a giveaway on a sleep apnea page I follow on Instagram and won a sleep supplement called Rad ZZZ. The product's label claimed you will fall asleep faster, stay asleep longer, and wake up refreshed. I’m very skeptical at this point of anything new, but it was natural and free, so I gave it a try.

I was shocked this was the first thing that helped me, and I now have a monthly subscription because I couldn’t imagine trying to sleep without it.

What is in Rad ZZZ?

The side effects with prescription sleep meds made me more aware of what I’m putting into my body. It seems like all the medications have had negative side effects. Now, since I’ve stopped using prescription pills for insomnia, 1 of the important things is that it is all-natural.

I was impressed with the ingredients in the supplement which include L-tryptophan, L-theanine, valerian root, cysteine, and melatonin. My body feels more relaxed within 30 minutes of taking the supplement and most of the time I’m asleep within 1 to 2 hours of taking it.

Getting more regular sleep

I take 2 capsules about an hour before bedtime with a small 8-ounce bottle of water. Within 20 to 30 minutes, I feel more relaxed and not as anxious as I’ve been before taking it at bedtime. I fall asleep and stay asleep to the point where I may pull the hose of out the back of my machine, waking my husband up (he hooks it back up).

When I wake up, I don’t feel groggy at all but I do still suffer from daytime fatigue, which I always had. This is the most regular sleep that I’ve had in years. I see that it works about 80 percent of the time. However, I still have a few nights here and there when I can’t sleep, but it’s usually due to a flair-up with fibromyalgia and pain.

According to the manufacturer, Rad ZZZ claims to help people:1

  • Fall asleep faster
  • Stay asleep longer
  • Reduce sleep apnea and snoring
  • Lose weight

Living with sleep apnea and insomnia

Sleep apnea and insomnia are a horrible combination to have together. Putting on your mask and not being able to fall asleep makes CPAP therapy useless if you can’t sleep.

I’ve tried a lot of different prescription medications that have had me sleepwalking, sleep-driving, and eating in my sleep while the quality of my sleep was still poor. I have tried different type of natural supplements, and countless prescription meds but I still had trouble falling asleep.

Rad ZZZ helps me fall asleep

I never imagined that winning a sleep supplement would be the 1 thing that finally helps me sleep at night. I have it as a reoccurring subscription so that I’m not without it. When I still have nights with pain and restless legs, I don’t fall asleep. But 5 out of 7 days, I can fall asleep within an hour or 2 of taking my supplement.
