I haven't taken it for daytime energy, but I know it really helps with relaxation and sleep. I bought a bottle of this brand's Ashwagandha at the grocery store and loved it so much I went online and bought a bargain brand (two bottles) that I need to throw out because I was seriously ill this next morning. The bargain brand was also darker in color. I don't know for sure if it was the herb or the fact that I ate a late dinner, but I threw up the next morning. I don't want to risk it again. And my husband said the bargain brand did not help him like this brand. BTW, the Amazon price here is half of what I paid at Safeway.

I have been taking this for many years, first thing in the morning. I would not say it makes me sleepy, but possibly slightly more energtic. Nothing noticable, though.

Believe it or not, it actually does both. It's not an energy giver, per se. What it does is help to take away stress, which then allows you to sleep better, and also allows you more energy during the day (because you're not as stressed).

When you are working on your whole health and using the right supplements, it will help everything. You will just feel better overall, and that means energy and sleep.

Well, this particular brand didn't help me much, so I tried NutriGold and it did help me with sleep and with my libido. It gave me rock hard erections, which was a big plus. I wasn't too happy with this nor Triphala from Organic India. Their other herbs, I like.

It helps with sleep. Perhaps because it helps with sleep it helps with energy too.

My ayurvedic doctor said it would help with stress and sleep so she said take it at night, I found it kept me up so I take it in the morning.

If it supports your adrenals then it will help with both! Tired adrenals make you sleepy during the day but give you a difficult time sleeping at night- which makes you wake up sleepy again. Supporting your adrenals will balance that cycle out!

In my personal opinion; this supplement is helpful to me for my overall mental well being. I do not know the how it affects weight training; and it may have different effects on each person. My personal experience is that the supplement has helped to improve my mood and it has some effect on decreasing my level of depression.

Absolutely, it doesn't spike blood pressure or give you the jitters. It helps curb your appetite and boosts energy.

I am not taking it for energy, read my review. Not a vitamin expert, check with your doctor or nutritionist regarding which supplements are best for you!

I currently use it BECAUSE I'm having major neck issues. It helps with your posture in that it pulls the shoulders back. It makes your head feel heavy when you take it off at night. I hope this helps. If you're already having neck issues, hopefully it is helping to keep them from getting much worse.

I take it before bed. It helps relax your body so you're not only getting better qualify of sleep, it also helps with digestion.

I didn't feel energy at first but continued taking the product and felt much improved within a month. A feeling of well being as opposed to energy. I am immune compromised and feel this product is very beneficial.

HI Dave, it helps you to relax and get in a sleepy mood, but I would not say that it truly puts you to sleep. If you ant something a tad more sleepy try Celestial Seasoning sleepy time with Valerian.Happy dreams!

It seems to be aiding in gaining more energy and comfort for my wife with Fibromyalgia. We bought more.Why not spend 20 bucks and give it a try? It sure will not hurt you.

It doesn't seem to make me sleepy. I would not use as a sleep aid. On the other hand, it does not keep me awake
