I don't take it that often but when I really need to, it knocks me out for 12 hours and I catch up. I'm just an early morning person, I guess, so I try to make sure I go to sleep at an early hour. I survive, and I seem to need less sleep as I get older. Part of the problem is the bathroom is at the other end of the house and by the time I've negotiated my way round a horde of cats and books, I'm very much awake. I sleep much better when I'm doing regular exercise; that kind of flew out the window this year because work was so manic, but I'm aiming to get back to weight-training and swimming.

Wow. I thought it was one of the "safer" things to take. I tried it once. Slept like the dead for 4 hours then woke up and stayed awake (did I say AWAKE!!!!) for a long time after... My kids (both raging insomniacs) sometimes take a drug called Rozerem - it's apparently a synthetic version of melatonin. As far as sleep meds go, it's quite safe. Pretty effective too. You might inquire with the doc if it could help, Jules. I remember your sleep troubles from your visits and have always wondered how you get by on so little! ::hugs:: Melatonin is? Wow.

It's all natural and helps me sleep a full night without interruption. Jules, have you tried taking melatonin about 1/2 before you go to bed?
