Melatonin...I have some and wish I could just hand it to you! Keep it natural if possible. Less to worry about that way. It is pretty cheap. You can get it at nearly any pharmacy or even at places like WalMart. Are you exercising a lot? That always helps wear me out. |

I agree that i'd rather keep things as "natural" as possible - but could you please expand more on melatonin? as far as the original question - I don't know if it has an adverse effect but I understand your pain - sleepless nights SUCK!  hopefully someone'll have a good suggestion for you.

Keriann, I'm going to give you links....I'm not a doctor...although marrying one doesn't sound bad.... Melatonin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia How Melatonin Affects Your Sleep Cycles Bodybuilding.com - Melatonin Information and Product Listing! Melatonin FAQ! I love Bodybuilding.com - The Future Of Bodybuilding! Huge Bodybuilding Site.!! It's a great site. I try to ignore the ads and soak up the knowledge. I have some 3 mg melatonin that'll knock you out!! When I had horrible trouble with sleep, I'd fall asleep practically right after I got home from work at night. Someone suggested melatonin. Well, THAT wasn't my problem....getting to sleep. I couldn't stay awake late enough to take it at a reasonable hour!! Think I might try some again....maybe tonight isn't the night though...have to get up around 2:45 am!! |

I had to take melatonin for a while before it helped. I take 6 mg early in the evening, not 20 minutes before bedtime like the instructions say.

I have no experience with sominex so I can't comment on that, but I suffered from severe insomnia for quite some time and melatonin has CHANGED MY LIFE. Sunny is right, it is not a quick fix and takes some time to work, but it completely regulated my sleep cycle and I can't recommend it enough!

very interesting...the webmd article says, "melatonin production is partly affected by light. During the shorter days of the winter months, melatonin production may start earlier or, more often, later. This change can lead to symptoms of seasonal affective disorder (SAD), or winter depression." i'm definitely thinking about looking into buying some - i assume these are in vitamin form, correct? I DID finally buy a black out shade for the window that needed one badly (big light right outside) which'll hopefully help...last night i was awake for three hours before i fell asleep. that's how most nights are - and once i DO fall asleep - i usually toss and turn like freakin' crazy. i REALLY appreciate the info here. thanks!!
