Does melatonin really work? Everyone talks about it. Does it make you sleep all night?

How every person metabolizes and is affected by medication, whether prescribed or OTC, is different. Our bodies naturally produce melationin, but sometimes it may not be enough. Taking 1-10mg (they come in 1mg, 3mg, 5gm and 10mg doses) to help the sleep process can be beneficial for some. It won't "keep you asleep" though.

Literally every time I take Aleve PM, 5s drop.

Our luck, right?

It can help people adjust to a schedule, especially if they're out of whack. Blue light from our computers inhibits our brain from producing melatonin and causes issues with sleep

Your body makes melatonin on its own, so you're basically just forcing your brain to get tired earlier than usual. Any pill with melatonin that I've taken has worked perfectly, but it's also left me feeling like shit the following day.

or you're helping the brain readjust from abnormal light input

lack of sleep and abusing our bodies with energy drinks and computers was my senior thesis in school...many years ago lol

edit:

@CrazyCatLady

I supplement with magnesium. Research it - helps me relax and go to sleep. helps with headaches, anxiety and depression as well.

 

[CrazyCatLady]

Thanks for all the replies!

Some nights I have trouble falling asleep, so I've thought about it. I also don't want to stay asleep all night because I like checking on my son every couple hours..lol. Anxiety sucks.

That's an EXCELLENT point We use f.lux here on our comps to adjust the light output as the evening progresses

Yeah we had a maker when I was little and all I remember is cranking it for ages until you got to the point you no longer really cared about ice cream

I have a HUGE electric one.

I mean, it's me. Of course I do.

Regarding the blue light issue, I found F.lux to be of GREAT help with that!

That used to happen to me when I would stay up for barcodes every night. Then they would post and it would become a race to try to get through them before the pills knocked me out.

Zoltars? More like Slowtars am I right folks?

Try the veal and don't forget to tip the waitress. Don't switch those around though.

thanks ladies, i'll have to get that for my laptop. I already have my phone adjust.

 

[CrazyCatLady]

I guess zoltars don't have a set time they drop anymore, huh.

@C to the J is gonna need you to start taking those in the morning

 

[sinon]

Yeah, I would just use preexisting banners as templates. And I already have one test banner that I can base others off of. But when I make banners, especially ones that use image overlays like mine or @SweetiePuff's, there's a lot of adjustment involved and it's just quicker making those adjustments through an addon than doing it by editing code. And once I get it right, I have to repeat the process for each of the other 5 themes.

Hmmmn, I see. I wish I knew more info to help but I don't think someone with more expertise has gotta weigh in. Plus melatonin kicking in so...I'm probably gonna pass out soon xD goodnight Aveline & thank you for chatting with me

(And goodnight everyone else too! Make lots of $$$ tonight)

Ok folks I'm gonna go do other things that may or may not be ice cream or sleep related. Have a wonderful evening, make them dollars

Right after you started working a super intense 30 minute survey if the batch this afternoon was any indication!

I was panicking because it's the first time I've filled my PC queue like that under pressure, but I finished the survey and then all the Zs just fine.
