trouble sleeping...melatonin?

[ward065]

sometimes i have trouble sleeping- how would melatonin be for helping me with this problem?

seems to happen the most when i have work the next day and i know i have to get up earlier, then i sleep badly sometimes

[devil1]

anxiety (<--spelling?) is why it is harder to sleep on those days

I have heard melatonin works for many, but it doesn't do anything for me personally.

works for me, i love it

[ward065]

i think i should try it- which brand is best?

a lot of companies sell it, it is not very expensive

thx

[devil1]

go to wal mart, you can find it there, i dont think it will matter which one you get

[bigtwin]

It works for me too, I sleep more soundly and apparently there was a study done where they found out melatonin also reduces the amout of headaches you get.

optimum nutrition melatonin looks to be the cheapest... 2.50 for 100 3 mg caps

i've started takin it and it works real good. i always seem to have alot of dream i remember when i take it too. but i heard u can build a tolerance to it so u might want to take it sparingly.

i can't ever sleep on sunday nights knowing i have to go to work the next day. melatonin makes me loopy. i wake up and do wierd things and have crazy dreams. last time i got the cereal out of the cupboard and put it on the counter and then went back to sleep i guess. thats what my roommate tells me anyways.

Valerian Root is good too.

next time you can't sleep come over my way, we can cuddle.

melatonin is the shit if it works for you..

make sure you have 10 hours to sleep if you take it though..

I would suggest you are eating carbs too close to bed time..

thus the problem with energy..

or you exercise too late in the day..

or you really don't have a job, and live at home with nothing to do..

jk..

try some relaxation exercises, or yoga.. works for me..

Valerian Root is good too.

ive got lunesta capped with melatonin, that stuff freaking rocks. I sleep like a rock and always wake up feeling like a million bucks in the morning!!

See if you can find some lunesta or ambien, both are prescription sleep aids. Lunesta is the only sleep aid approved for long term use. Ambien works quite well too, but youre not supposed to take for more than a week at a time

[RussianVodka]

It works well for me, but I have to take at list 9mgs

[Mizfit]

hmm thanks

Ive been talking Night Rest with melatonin for about three months, 1 tablet at 9pm evry night I get full night sleeps without the tossing and turning. I recommend highly if your having trouble sleeping.

drink about 21 beers... that puts me to sleep
