I bought a bottle of Melatonin 5mg and took one last night , I fell sleep right away , woke up a few times and very easily went back to sleep.
don't feel any side effects and going to continue taking it , my doctor was right !
any other sleeping aids?

I tried Melatonin and it did nothing for me. I have issues with my brain not shutting down at night. Always trying to figure out some fabricating problem or machinery problem. Always thinking about something.

Tried Melatonin a few years ago for a short while. It worked but it took several nights before it made any real noticeable difference for me. Had the most vivid and long dreams I remember ever having in my whole life while taking it. They were too vivid and long so I quit taking it.

any other sleeping aids? Melatonin makes you sleepy. Valerian root keeps you that way. I've taken both each night for years.

I was taking the "PM" stuff before that. On top of being addictive to get to sleep on, they made me feel fogged in the next morning. I don't get that fogged in feeling the next morning with melatonin and valerian root. (Interesting thing about valerian root is that the drug Valium is derived from it.)

Tried it a few nights, and it didn't do anything for me. Should try it again and stick with it longer.

I thought this was a pretty good talk on the importance of getting adequate sleep. The speaker, Dr. Matt Walker who is the director of the Center for Human Sleep Science at the University of California, Berkeley, also covers some tips on sleep hygiene. You might want to take a listen to the podcast. NPR podcast on sleep

In 1969 I took physics 101 at night school. It made me so sleepy I stood up in the back of the class. Many decades went by and I found some astro physics that made me sleepy.

that's very expensive , you have to buy her dinner and take her to a movie or something , etc... Youre assuming he was referring to a her.

That was my experience, too, and I quit taking Melatonin for the same reason.
