Melatonin

Melatonin have any of y’all tried it. Jenn got me some and I sleep so sound. It seems to tear up my stomachs. I only take one once in a while. I like the way it makes me sleep but I’m afraid I’ll become reliant on it. Some say it doesn’t work for them.
Seems harder to sleep these days than it used to.

Seems a hour or two before bedtime works for many - thing is to get in a habbit of same time of going to bed and getting up - regular hour thing is one key . 
 Sons G/F was told to try it by doc - but also to try regular times of taking it and time to relax before sleep . 

I always get up between 4:00 and 4:30 am. I’ve always went to bed between 8:00 and 9:00 pm. Never had sleep problems in my life until the past couple years. I go to sleep but get up a couple hrs later and can’t get back to sleep.

I take it occasionally because some days I have to get up earlier for work, so need a little persuasion at night to sleep earlier. Works good but yes need to take about an hour before bed.

I hear ya Thad,,,but,,,but,,,they's 7 nights in a week,,,,,

Don't worry about it Thad.  I go to bed usually around 9 and get up about 4.  Some nights I'm the same way, wake up at 1 or 2 and be up forever that day.  I've found it's because I'm NOT TIRED ENOUGH!  That's the key to a good nights sleep, being tired.
I find during the winter is the worst time for me cause all I do is sit around waiting for spring so I'm up a lot of nights.
During the spring/summer/fall, I can be sitting at the table drinking my 3rd POT of coffee and just drop off.
It's cause as we get older, we tend to get lazier....

OK Ted how many females you ever convince that they are not tired when they complain they are not sleeping well??????????????  

Nyquil winds me up! No kidding, it sucks!  The only medication I can take for a cold is high blood pressure formulations even though I don't have high blood pressure.  Those versions don't seem to wind me up, all the other ones do.
