Melatonin.
That worked for me for about three nights then didn’t. Later I read taking it tells your body it doesn’t need to make its own so it quits producing it. Permanently in some cases. So I read mind you. Who knows.
No you're right. You're supposed to only take light doses and not heavy ones every day. A hard days work will make you sleep naturally. It's more of a cure for nights you can't sleep and need to get some.
I've heard the same thing about the body not producing as much but only temporarily. I have never heard about the body stopping creating it permanently though.
“It's more of a cure for nights you can't sleep and need to get some.”
I’ll buy that. Not much help for continuous and chronic insomnia, even after a hard days of physical work, but yeah it can help if you just have the occasional trouble getting to sleep. Magnesium helps get you down too, but I understand you have to be careful with it as it has to have a proper balance with calcium. A bit too much of one over the other can cause issues it is claimed. Lol, it’s frustrating as fuk all try’n to suss out fact from fiction in the health world. That and there’s no one size fits all program. Lots of factors to factor in individually speaking. Basic rules, but yeah….
Mentioned below in here somewhere I found the sound of thunderstorms would put me out pretty good. 99% of the time.
Melatonin wakes me up and prevents me from sleeping.
It does the opposite for me, I go out like a light in about an hour but I only take it when I know I need to get up early and cannot sleep.
