Yes it works for me, I like the fact that it relaxes me so much and you can really get some good sleep on it. BUT you REALLY DONT NEED TO TAKE IT BY YOURSELF! PLEASE have someone watch you, forreal. Atleast until your use to it and know how you'll act on it. It makes you crave all kind of food an sweets, and some people say they were sleep walking on it, but I guess it depends on the person bc I didnt, but I did do some weird silly things on it and i'm glad My Husband was here to "watch" me.
