Sleep products compared: Cibdol and non-CBD alternatives

A sleep shelf looks simple until you try to pick from it. Every box has a moon on it, every name promises a better night, and the contents range from one hormone to a thirteen-item tablet. So instead of asking which box is best, it helps to ask what kind of evening routine you are actually shopping for: something you swallow or something you measure, with melatonin or without it, plain capsule or herbal blend.

This guide lines up six products that answer those questions differently: three from Cibdol's sleep range and three non-CBD products from Zamnesia. We compare the listed ingredients, serving amounts and formats to help you explore the options. For what the individual ingredients do, and what researchers have found, our guide to sleep supplements in Europe goes ingredient by ingredient. This page is the shopping companion: what is in each product, how the formats differ, and which questions each one helps you answer.

The short version

• Melatonin or not is the first split. Cibdol's Fall Asleep pair and Zamnesia's Dream Tablets and Dream Gummies contain it; Cibdol's Stay Asleep and Zamnesia's Natural Relax do not.
• Format is the second split: capsule, measured liquid, tablet, gummy. The same active ingredient can arrive in very different routines.
• Cannabinoids or not is the third. The Cibdol selection contains hemp-derived cannabinoids; Stay Asleep also lists CBN. The Zamnesia picks here are CBD-free.
• Amounts per serving are listed for most of these products, and they are not a league table. A bigger number on the label is not a better product. See the note under the table.

At a glance

Amounts are per listed serving on the linked product pages. Prices are dated EUR listings from the English storefronts, reviewed on 16 October 2026, rather than Netherlands-specific quotes. Promotions and destination can change the final price; select your country in the shop. Price per serving is price divided by listed servings, excluding postage.

A note on the numbers. Milligrams of different ingredients, and different extracts of the same plant, are not interchangeable, so the table does not rank products by amount. Melatonin is the one ingredient that appears in several rows, and even there the label tells you what is in the product, not whether more or less will suit you. Zamnesia's discounts are promotional and can change; the per-serving figures use the displayed prices above.

How these six were chosen

We selected three Cibdol formulas to compare a melatonin capsule, a measured melatonin liquid and a melatonin-free cannabinoid blend.

For Zamnesia we started from its sleep category, which is long and includes CBD products, single ingredients and teas. We picked three non-CBD products that differ from each other in format and in what they are built around: a melatonin-and-herbs tablet, a melatonin gummy, and a melatonin-free herbal capsule. Single-ingredient options such as 5-HTP and magnesium citrate were left out because they are covered in their own guides, linked below.

This is desk research, not testing: we compared the descriptions and ingredient tables on supplier pages, and we have not tried or lab-tested any of these products. A place on this list means the product fits one of the questions above, not that we rank it or that it will work for you. Stock, prices and label details change, so treat the dates as part of the information.

Cibdol's range

Cibdol is a CBD brand. The selected products span its Fall Asleep and Stay Asleep formulas.

Fall Asleep: the capsule or the liquid

Fall Asleep exists in two forms. Both list 1.5 mg melatonin per serving. The capsule page specifies 2.5 mg CBD per capsule; the liquid page specifies 2.5 mg cannabinoids from hemp extract per 1 ml. Those cannabinoid descriptions are different: the liquid figure is not an exact CBD amount, so we do not treat the two as CBD-equivalent.

• The capsule is a single plant-based hard capsule per serving. Its page lists sunflower lecithin as the emulsifier and states no alcohol, no added vitamins and no terpenes. If you want a fixed amount and nothing to measure, this is the version built for that.
• The liquid (still known to returning customers by its older name, Meladol) is a 30 ml pipette bottle where you measure 1 ml. It also lists 0.3 mg terpenes and 0.7 mg vitamin B6 per millilitre, and it contains soy lecithin and 2.3 vol.% ethanol, which is why soy is declared as an allergen. Cibdol's own page frames it as the choice for people who prefer to measure their own amount.

Cibdol’s pages for both versions quote wording that melatonin contributes to reducing the time taken to fall asleep, with a footnote that the effect is obtained with 1 mg of melatonin shortly before bed. Both list melatonin cautions: drowsiness (so no driving or operating machinery afterwards), short-term use, and asking a doctor first if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Each page also gives its own timing instruction, so take that from the pack you receive.

Stay Asleep: no melatonin, a different recipe

Stay Asleep is the melatonin-free capsule. One hard capsule lists 12.5 mg CBD, 12.5 mg CBN, 50 mg hops extract and 167 mg griffonia extract standardised to 30% 5-HTP. If you do the arithmetic (167 mg at 30%), that is roughly 50 mg of 5-HTP, though the pack lists the extract. For more on CBN, see our minor cannabinoids guide. Cibdol displays batch information on the page; we have not independently tested the product or verified the batch that would be delivered.

Because it contains 5-HTP and the label advises talking to a healthcare professional if you take medication, the 5-HTP guide and the supplements and medication guide are worth a read first if that applies to you.

Zamnesia's non-CBD options

Zamnesia is an online retailer with own-brand products. These three selections list no CBD or other cannabinoids in their ingredient lists.

Dream Tablets 3-in-1 Multi Formula: the all-in-one tablet

One Dream Tablet is the listed daily serving and contains melatonin (0.99 mg) alongside a herbal group (valerian, lemon balm, passion flower, chamomile), GABA, L-tryptophan, magnesium (as bisglycinate, 120 mg, 32% of the reference intake) and vitamins B3, B6, B12, D3 and folate. That is thirteen listed ingredients in one pill, which is the main way it differs from Cibdol: one tablet, many different ingredients, none of them cannabinoids. Its appeal here is the breadth of the formula in one tablet; that is a format choice, not proof that the combination improves sleep.

Dream Gummies Cherry: the chewable

The Dream Gummies Cherry page lists a gummy with 0.29 mg melatonin plus valerian and passion flower extracts (25 mg and 20 mg). This one lists glucose syrup, sugar and dextrose, which is worth knowing if you are watching sugar, or have already brushed your teeth. The page says it is not suitable for under-18s and advises consulting a doctor if you are on medication, pregnant or breastfeeding.

Natural Relax: the melatonin-free herbal capsule

Natural Relax is the relaxation-focused option. It combines five botanicals—valerian root, rhodiola, passion flower, chamomile and hops—with L-theanine, an amino acid. It lists no melatonin and is positioned for relaxation rather than specifically for sleep. The amounts are listed per daily serving of three capsules, while the instruction says two to three capsules a day, so a per-capsule figure is a third of the headline number. It says not to use it in pregnancy or while breastfeeding. If your question is "I'd like something evening-ish without melatonin and without cannabinoids", this is the Zamnesia entry that fits it.

Choosing between them

Rather than a ranking, here are the questions each label can actually answer.

• Do I want melatonin in the product? Fall Asleep (both forms), Dream Tablets and Dream Gummies contain it. Stay Asleep and Natural Relax don't. Our melatonin guide explains timing and labels.
• Do I want to measure, swallow or chew? Liquid (Fall Asleep Liquid), capsule (Fall Asleep Capsules, Stay Asleep, Natural Relax), tablet (Dream Tablets) or gummy (Dream Gummies).
• Do I want cannabinoids? The Cibdol selections list hemp-derived cannabinoids; Stay Asleep lists both CBD and CBN. The Zamnesia selections list neither.
• Do I want a single idea or a blend? Fall Asleep centres on melatonin and hemp-derived cannabinoids; the liquid also lists B6 and terpenes. Dream Tablets and Natural Relax are blends of many.
• Are there allergens or sugar to think about? The Fall Asleep liquid contains soy and ethanol; the gummy contains sugar; the Fall Asleep capsule page lists no declarable allergens. Read the exact product’s ingredient and allergen information.
• What am I paying per evening? Roughly €0.22 to €1.33 per listed serving here, with the caveats in the table note.

What a label can and can't tell you

A product page can tell you what is in the product and what the seller says about it. It can't tell you whether the amount suits you, or whether the ingredient does anything for sleep. For that you need studies, and the evidence differs a lot between these ingredients.

For an example of ingredient-level evidence, a meta-analysis of melatonin in 19 placebo-controlled trials involving adults and children with primary sleep disorders found that melatonin shortened the time to fall asleep by around seven minutes, and the authors described the effects as modest (Ferracioli-Oda and colleagues, PLoS ONE, 2013). For cannabinoids, a 2020 systematic review of 12 clinical studies found insufficient evidence to support routine clinical use for any sleep disorder, partly because of the limited and often higher-risk-of-bias research (Suraev and colleagues, Sleep Medicine Reviews). The same goes for combinations: a trial of one preparation doesn't transfer to a different product, so none of this is a verdict on the products above. Our sleep supplements guide goes through what has been studied for CBD, CBN, hops, valerian, 5-HTP and the others.

If poor sleep has become a regular thing, the European Insomnia Guideline recommends cognitive behavioural therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) as the first-line treatment for chronic insomnia in adults, and does not generally recommend fast-release melatonin for insomnia without circadian factors, or herbal remedies for insomnia (Riemann and colleagues, Journal of Sleep Research, 2023). A GP can help work out what is going on, and our sleep hygiene guide covers the habits that come before any product.

Worth knowing before you order

• Melatonin can cause drowsiness. Both Cibdol Fall Asleep pages advise against driving or operating machinery after taking it, and ask you to speak to a doctor first if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Zamnesia’s Dream Gummies page advises consulting a doctor before use if you are on medication, pregnant, breastfeeding or have a health condition, and says it is not for under-18s; Natural Relax says it is not suitable in pregnancy or while breastfeeding. Read the page for the exact product you choose.
• CBD needs a separate safety check. EFSA’s February 2026 safety statement could not establish safety for under-25s, pregnancy, breastfeeding or people taking medicines. Its provisional intake figure applies only to narrowly specified CBD formulations, not as a dose recommendation for these products. See our CBD guide for the regulatory context.
• Read the pack before use. Follow the instructions and cautions for the exact product you receive. A shop offering delivery does not establish the product’s legal status in your country.
