Melatonin is useful for sleep in many situations...
Item Package Quantity: 1, Style: 240 Count (Pack of 1)
I have a chronic insomnia problem and I find that melatonin helps. Keep in mind that it will not help if you have something seriously wrong with you such as a chronic pain problem that is keeping you awake. It's not strong enough to overcome that. But it does help with jet lag and it does help with some sleep conditions. You must use it correctly; unfortunately some physicians write that you only need the tiniest dose; others write that you need a higher dose. It is wise to follow a program for sleep hygiene: google "sleep hygiene" and you'll get some good results. I follow ALL of their suggestions and it has helped. The most important thing for me has been to block out light. I leave the lights on low starting at 6 PM. I take the melatonin at 8 PM, some take it earlier. There is no quick-fix for sleep problems but if you keep working at it and you're disciplined, you can find some relief. By the way, if you're not sleeping because of pain and other disturbing symptoms from fibromyalgia (I have it), you need to investigate The Guaifenesin Protocol developed by Dr. R. Paul St. Amand in Marina Del Rey, California. My life was a misery before I found this doctor and started his protocol. I was, in fact, bedridden. I have now regained my life. Source Naturals Melatonin is useful because it does not contain mint (which blocks guaifenesin) and the sublingual form is rapidly absorbed without being destroyed by stomach acid. It is not easy to find but Amazon has it and at the best price.
