I tried Kourtney Kardashian’s Lemme Sleep gummies to end my nightmares — Did it work?

When Kourtney Kardashian-Barker unveiled Lemme Sleep, the berry-flavored, sleep-supporting gummies, I was intrigued.

Then, the social media reviews began rolling in, and my curiosity only grew.

Part of the expansive Lemme lineup of women’s health supplements, thousands of fans claimed Lemme Sleep was the single sleep supplement they’d tried that actually worked. Some hadn’t slept well in years, others were diagnosed with insomnia, dealt with nightmare disorders or were simply struggling to get solid rest as new parents.

“This is the best sleep gummy I’ve ever tried,” one person exclaimed in the reviews section. “They gradually take effect, and you don’t feel groggy when you wake up. The taste is amazing, and I won’t go back to anything else. I’m totally addicted to Lemme…”

Melatonin, a well-known and sometimes polarizing ingredient, is the active in the gummy, which was hard for me to believe. I had my own experiences with melatonin, and they hadn’t been so positive. In fact, they’d been pretty bad.

Melatonin is a naturally occurring hormone the body produces to help regulate the sleep-wake cycle, signaling when it’s time to wind down. And one of the potential side effects is vivid, and occasionally unsettling, dreams.

That was exactly what I experienced while taking melatonin in college. After a stressful day, I’d pop up to 10 milligrams to help me fall asleep. At first, it worked.

But after a while, I’d find myself jolting awake in the middle of the night in a cold sweat, caught in an Inception-style nightmare. By morning, I felt completely depleted; groggy, exhausted and a bit anxious, like I was waking up with a hangover.

That’s when I decided to quit melatonin cold turkey.

Years later, as a new mom once again struggling to fall asleep and stay asleep, I decided it was time to give Lemme Sleep a chance. Given my previous experience, I was a touch skeptical — but the overwhelming hype convinced me it was worth trying.

So, lemme give you the full scoop on my Lemme Sleep experiment.

Lemme Sleep Gummies with 5mg Melatonin

Lemme

Packaged in a sleek purple vase-like container, Lemme Sleep is a gentle yet effective sleep supplement designed to help you “fall asleep blissfully and wake up beautifully.”

The formula’s main active ingredient is melatonin, with each gummy containing about 2.5 milligrams (a full serving is two gummies).

It also includes two other key sleep-supporting ingredients: L-theanine, which may help promote relaxation by supporting the nervous system, as well as magnesium, an essential mineral that regulates hundreds of bodily processes, including muscle and nerve support.

Staying true to Kourtney Kardashian-Barker’s wellness-focused approach, the formula also features a carefully selected blend of natural botanicals, including chamomile, lavender and elderberry.

According to the brand, “these botanicals work alongside our other key ingredients for dreamy benefits.”

Lemme Sleep Review

Admittedly, I was nervous to try melatonin again.

My past experience was less than stellar, and I felt like if I could just make it through the newborn phase and baby years, I’d eventually survive without needing it. But my toddler’s sleep schedule still isn’t quite where I’d like it to be, and there are nights when I simply need to catch up on rest.

After seeing Lemme Sleep pop up in all my social feeds and reading the reviews, I decided it was finally time to give it a shot. I waited until the first night after a long work weekend, when I was completely exhausted, and took my first gummy.

And wow, did it taste good.

The gummies are slightly fruity without being overpowering, and the texture is just perfect — easy to bite into with minimal chewing required. Honestly, if I could, I’d eat the whole container.

I took the gummy about thirty minutes before my scheduled bedtime to give it enough time to kick in, and I actually felt the effects sooner than expected. After about 15 minutes, I felt a little more relaxed and less anxious.

Before I knew it, I was curled up in bed and didn’t remember much about what happened afterward until the morning. And the best part? No bizarre dreams.

In the past, melatonin gave me intense nightmares (like sleep paralysis and suffocating underwater bad). But since trying Lemme, I haven’t had a single bad dream, and I’ve taken it at least 15 or 20 times now.

Maybe it’s the lower dose or the combination of other botanicals and herbs, but overall, I feel much better with this melatonin formula. My body feels more rested, and I’m far less groggy or slow to get up in the morning — which is especially important when I have a toddler jumping on me at 7 a.m.

I’m not saying Lemme is a miracle product by any means, but I do feel it has made a noticeable difference in my sleep quality. And, my Oura Ring tends to agree. My scores typically tick up by 10 to 15 points every time I take it.

Who is Lemme Sleep best designed for?

Lemme Sleep is best suited for people who might be a little busy, stressed, have trouble unwinding or simply find themselves waking up at random hours of the night. New parents, students and overworked office employees, I’m looking at you.

Since melatonin has a few potential side effects, I wouldn’t recommend taking it if you’re already sleeping well. But for those regularly struggling with sleep, it can be an effective supplement worth trying.

Lemme Sleep is also a great choice for someone who’s looking for a more natural path to better rest. In addition to Melatonin, the blend contains magnesium, L-theanine and botanicals that promote sleep without forcing it. It’s a great choice if you’re looking for something on the gentle side with added benefits.

Is Lemme Sleep Worth it?

At $30 a bottle, it isn’t exactly cheap (though Lemme frequently runs sales on Amazon).

But for anyone who struggles to fall asleep or stay asleep, I’d argue Lemme Sleep is worth the investment. It also doesn’t hurt that it tastes like a melt-in-your-mouth yummy candy.TLDR: If this were a plain candy without health benefits, I would still buy it.

If you’ve had a bad experience with melatonin in the past, I would suggest starting with one gummy before taking the full 5 milligram dose. It’s a gentler way to ease into the effects and experience a calming sleep aid rather than something that leaves you feeling knocked out and zombie-esque.

And, as with any melatonin supplement, it’s best not to become overly reliant on it. With Lemme Sleep, I didn’t feel like I was reaching for it out of habit. For that reason, I feel much more comfortable recommending it over other melatonin-containing products.

It’s not going to solve all your sleep problems, but if you’re looking for something to help you relax at night — and perhaps boost your sleep score by a couple of points — I’d suggest giving it a shot.

How I tested

I tested Lemme Sleep over the course of three months, using it once or twice a week based on my sleep data debt and state of tiredness. In addition to considering the practical elements like ease of use, taste and texture, I also considered how quickly I fell asleep, the overall quality of my sleep, whether I experienced any side effects, and how I felt during the day.

• Ease of use: I considered the quality and durability of Lemme’s packaging, the convenience of the gummies, the serving size, and how easy it was to follow the directions, per the label.
• Taste and texture: Taste and texture are important features of any supplement. For Lemme, I considered the overall flavor profile, texture and aftertaste.
• Sleep onset and quality: I used my Oura Ring data to track my sleep quality each night I used Lemme Sleep. I also kept notes on whether I experienced any unusual dreams, how often I woke up during the night, and how long it took me to fall back asleep after any interruptions.
• Daytime impact: Each morning, I noted the time I naturally woke up and how long it took me to feel mentally clear and physically energized. I also observed whether I experienced any grogginess, mood dips or sluggishness during the day.
• Withdrawals and side effects: Given my past use and dependence on melatonin, I paid close attention to any side effects or withdrawal symptoms of using Lemme — including bizarre dreams, headaches and digestive issues.
