I am going to give it a few nites and then I might try to not take anything and see if I can take nothing at all.
This question is for the woman, sorry guys, do any of you ladies a week before that "time" do you have night sweats? I am only 39 but my mom went through menopause at 40 and I dont know if maybe I am getting close to going thru that. All of my symptoms are 1 week prior to starting. I also am more emotional then I have ever been also. I hate waking up wet and cold. If you got any feedback it would be appreciated.
One really weird thing about melatonin, is it is only/most effective if you are 'in the bedtime mood' Its not the type of thing u can be all strung out on and help sleep with, benzos/otc aids are best for that. But melatonin works best when you have a calm state of mind, and arent around light (daylight or artifical). Just keep that in mind.
