Anybody else take melatonin?

Melatonin is fine to use as an occasional sleep aid, however using it all the time can cause a melatonin deficiency in your brain. You should alternate sleep aids, and try something like chamomile, Valerian root, hops, and other natural relaxants. I once gave my dad melatonin as a gift, and he's used it so much that 18 years later, he doesn't sleep without it. Also, limit your caffeine intake, and you should have NO caffeine 4 hours before bed. You might want to give this app a try too, "deep sleep hypnosis". I have chronic insomnia, and the hypnotherapy has helped me far more than any pill or supplement. I've had this device and that app for three weeks, and I've noticed that I struggle less to get to sleep now.

Also - make sure your bed is used for nothing but sleep and sex. If you do other, non restful things in bed, your mind doesn't always associate your bed as being for rest (or sex, LOL!), and will have a harder time easing into sleep. Your bedroom should be dark, and quiet, though you may find it preferable to use a fan, or radio to generate " white noise", to help you relax more easily. Have you ever had a sleep study done?
