3mg is not enough

About two years ago someone recommended that I try Melatonin.  At first I was hesitant, I've heard a few horror stories about herbal/natural sleep remedies (hello, valerian root hallucinations, anyone?), but after I did some research I decided to give it a go.  Turns out that melatonin is a hormone already in your body that regulates your sleep cycle.

I've been using it ever since.  This really works like a charm for me, but it took some trial and error.  First off, unlike other sleep meds I've tried, I can take melatonin right as I'm tucking in for bed.  Secondly, 3mg is just not enough to have an effect on me.  I take two 3mg tablets right before bed.  It's the perfect amount as I can fall asleep in a reasonable amount of time or still be able-minding if I bolt out of bed because I forgot to do a homework assignment.

All around great product in my opinion.  It's inexpensive (I get bottles of 60-240 tablets for under $5) and natural, so I'd recommend trying it if you haven't already.

Welcome!

Hi there!  Chances are if you're reading this blog you have trouble sleeping.  Well, that makes two of us.  I've been struggling with sleep since I was a freshman in high school.  My doctor put me on a combination anti-anxiety medications that not only did not work, but were also habit forming.  I didn't want to become dependent on expensive medicines, so I started trying to find other things that worked.  Now, at 21, I've finally found solutions that help me sleep-- without prescription medicine.  Basically this blog will show you what works and doesn't work for me as well as testing out new products, tips and the like.

I hope you find something useful!
