I use a magnesium supplement, it works really well for me

Second this. Melatonin gives me insane nightmares. I use MyoCalm Plus instead.
I'll look into it and ask my doc. Thanks!

Few weeks* not supposed to take it consistently for more than 2 weeks my friend and even THATS pushing it.
Yeah, guess I got hooked on being able to actually sleep. I've tried almost everything, shy of getting my clock cleaned nightly.
It's a tough one to crack. Your body stops producing melatonin naturally if it's getting it synthetically. Thats the danger of it. Why>
Should your body work hard to make something it can get for free. I've heard good things about magnesium! I hope you get some sleep friend.<
Thanks, I just bought some blackout curtains for my bedroom and a weighted blanket, gonna drop caffeine altogether, even in the mornings.
Sounds like a solid plan. I'm sure it will help, especially the caffeine!
Rrrrrrrrright
Ive taken it for years

Same. I started taking it during cancer treatment - Doc said it’s a natural supplement, take it however long you want without worry.

I’d recommend finding a lower dose (2mg?) and easing your way back on and picking up maybe some exercise? Sleep is critically important.

I do 1 mg and always have or else my mind races and my body won't get tired

As with anything you take long term that your body naturally makes, it will stop producing it if you supplement long term
mephiston
clearly quitting is not working out for you, though.
Yeah, the symptoms came back. I'll take one an hour before bed next time and see if I still get the weird dreams, maybe I can reduce my dose
Dreams mean you're getting sleep. Weird dreams might be something to consider discussing with a therapist.

My wife's dr. has her on it indefinitely. I'd maybe speak to your dr. about it

Meditation and exercise have both been directly proven to substantially help with sleep.
Both a regular part of my life but hey, I didn't ask for advice anyway. The "Something else" card is, in fact, in my deck.
Ohh. Sorry, didn’t realize you weren’t trying to be solution based and only posted to bitch. I’ll keep my two cents next time. Good luck
My apologies, great passive-aggressive Sage of All Sleep, I should have heeded your infinite wisdom. Forgive my insolent sass.
Dude, I struggle with sleep myself. I was just sharing what I’ve found to help. Just trying to be of service to another person. Have a great
I'm cranky 'cause I haven't slept, my patience for unsolicited advice is low. Didn't mean to snap so hard. Glad you found what works for you
Never mind, I just realized you didn’t ask for luck either. I take that back
