Whats a good sleeping pill?

[Smurfy]

Am I the only person in the world who hasnt taken Rx sleeping pills?

Oh wait, I lie. I did take a rozerem once. Holymother of God, that was a horrendous feeling for about 24 straight hours (work the next day did NOT go well)


ON rare occasions, when I cant sleep I take 2 benadryl. But its rare for me not to be able to sleep. Im like a narcoleptic lolol

I've taken my mom's ambien maybe 4/5 times...but I've never gotten a scrip for them myself.

I take both melatonin and valerian root when I'm having trouble sleeping. I don't like pills that will make me drowsy if I don't sleep long enough. I don't have time to get 8 hours of sleep.

Melatonin for sure -

It is a naturally occurring hormone that regulates the circadian rhythms. Use 5mg to start only when you absolutely need it. If you are in serious sleep deprivation you can bump it to 10mg. Research suggests that it can cause depression in some individuals if taken on a consistent basis for long periods of time (being months at a time) - I'm not sure how accurate that is and I haven't researched it on my own.

My experience is that it works best if you take it about 30 - 45 minutes before you would like to fall asleep and go ahead and start relaxing.

Sweet dreams.

I guess that makes me the only one.

Which makes you a minority

3mg of melatonin does the trick for me. I was taking 6mg a night, but 3mg is plenty for me. I found that 6mg put me out, but I would wake up groggy. If I am really in need of some sleep I will take 3mg melatonin and 5g of GABA. Lights out.

non-script, I find that .5mg of melatonin and 25mg of benadryl does the trick
