I just got the tablets a few days ago, and I take them about an hour before going to bed. I can honestly state that I have never had so many wonderful sleep days in a row. When I'm drifting off, I'm more peaceful, and I wake up feeling more rejuvenated. I'll check back in at the end of the month to see if any weight has been lost. I'm not currently exercising, but I'd like to do an experiment to determine if I can lose weight without doing so. At the conclusion of the month, I'll provide an update.
