General Product Info
I should start by saying I have tried many red dawn energy products. I am no stranger to their Sleep Walker Energy and Mood pills, and have tried them many times. Unfortunately, the previous reviews were not favorable, however, I still decided to give them another chance after seeing them pop back up in my local head shop. I noticed this time the bottle read that the product was manufactured for and distributed by a new company called Evol Nutrition Associates. I guess Red Dawn sold the brand to this new company. Regardless, the bottle’s label largely remains the same, claiming an increase in focus, mood, and stress relief. The ingredients include a few vitamins, L-Phenylalanine, DL-Phenylalanine, Chinese skullcap extract (4:1), caffeine anhydrous (where most of the pep comes from), GABA, and bacopa monnieri extract (10:1).
I am surprised to see any products in this industry which contain any caffeine anhydrous, as it has been largely considered dangerous to consume in quantities large enough to provide the pep this company is going after. Additionally, caffeine anhydrous is almost never worth the impending crash which is essentially unavoidable.
Product Administration
The supplement facts panel states two capsules to be a serving size, with a total of ten servings per container. I tried Sleep Walker pills twice this time, the first being the recommended 2 capsules. These two capsules I took on a near empty stomach, only having a grilled cheese sandwich and a glass of milk beforehand, and two large glasses of water throughout the hour after the pills were consumed. I then tried the product once more a few days later, taking 4 pills within an hour. This time, I had consumed 2 pieces of pepperoni pizza, a bread stick, and 3 glasses of water.
Product Effects
During the first trial, I followed the recommended advice on the label. After about 20 minutes, I began to feel a little light headed, and a tiny bit of pep. This pep was extremely short lived, only giving me roughly 10 minutes of “positive effect,” which I would describe as a mild improvement to motivation and a small bit of focus. I then began to experience a significant crash which cannot be explained with words. I felt the need to immediately press my head in between two pillows and pray for the next day.
During the second trial, I thought I would have much better results given I had taken more of the pills and more water to counteract the negative effects of the caffeine anhydrous. Unfortunately, the negative effects were amplified with no bonus to any of the (very little) positive effects. The crash was twice as hard and lasted twice as long. In fact, I felt like a dried out skeleton by the end of the day.
Final Thoughts
I will admit that although I had never gotten much positive effect from these pills in the past, and it certainly took some courage to try them again, I never in a million years thought it could get worse than the previous attempts. The previous reviews were all two star Fat Sammy Ratings, however, they have since lost a star. Perhaps it is the change in company ownership, or a change in ingredients I am not perceiving somehow…but the crash was absolutely not worth the very small benefit. And Sleep Walker pills are most certainly not worth the money! I cannot recommend Sleep Walker Energy and Mood pills to anyone. This product did the exact opposite of the bottle’s stated intentions.
