used to, no longer. i switched to cbd based upon a question i posted here a while back and for me, it works.

some will say it is snake oil or a placebo effect and maybe it is. but for me, i sleep better than i have in a long time.

I take it. It helps me fall asleep, but doesn’t make me too tired to function when I’m awakened by the baby.

Any reason you take such a large dose? I’ve read it’s less effective when you take higher amounts.

Not every night, but if I am having trouble getting my mind to relax and get to sleep, absolutely.

My older kids don't take it much. But many times my youngest will come ask for one a couple hours after bed time as he has trouble falling asleep.

I take it sometimes. It doesn't put you to sleep like a drug would -- it just is supposed to promote sleep and relax you more like natural melatonin in your body would. Because of that, you're supposed to take it 2+ hours before you go to bed.

Sometimes it works great for me, sometimes I notice no difference.

If I actually need to be put down at an early time (like the first night after a long weekend where I've stayed up late and had alcohol at night the past few days), I take Benadryl.

Tried it a few times and it didn't do anything for me. Trazadone worked for a while and I kept having to up my dose until it started dropping my BP to levels where I would lose consciousness if I had to get up and pee or something.

But I've been sleeping better the older I get.

It's not so much putting me to sleep, as it is keeping me asleep that I have noticed when taking it. When I don't take it and I get up to piss, it takes me forever to fall back to sleep.

definitely helps me, wife and kids. 4 beers with a 12 mg melatonin and I'm completely out without feeling drowsy when I wake up.


You sound trashy AF.

Do you also pump the kiddos full of ADD meds, Adderall, and other shite to control their behavior?

Switch to CBD drops instead of melatonin for better results. You can get THC-free drops so you don't pop a drug test. Even better if you don't work in an industry that drug tests frequently, get the THC drops. Thank me later.

I started taking it after reading that it might help ward off the Covid. Have noticed that it helps my sleep.

I don't. But I will drink chamomile tea before bed to help get more restful sleep.

I'm not a fan. I've found there's a really short window to fall asleep when it starts working, and if I miss the window I get restless leg and it actually keeps me up. When it does work I have crazy dreams, and the last time I took it I had a bad headache for the entire following day.
