Sweet Dreams

I don't know if I have mentioned this but I have a slight problem with sleeping.  I have trouble falling asleep and staying asleep. (What I would give for like 10 hours of straight sleep!) I usually have to much running around in my mind and so at times I will be awake for hours in the middle of the night.  I have tried sleeping pills and sleep aids but I always feel like a druggy in the morning and I feel its not good take all the time.  Finally I discovered this...

Melatonin!!

Apparently its what your body naturally produces so you can go to sleep.  When I take it I am asleep within about 15 min and I get a good 5 -6 hours until I wake up (usually because I have to go to the bathroom...THAT doesn't help the situation!) I don't feel druggy in the morning and I feel its safe enough to take often.
I am grateful for a better nights sleep because of it!

Man I wish that I knew about your sleeping problem. I discovered the secret of Melatonin when I was traveling. I used it on long overseas flights!
