Well, I guess I'm the wierdo. I take 300 mg per night & it's been since 2005 when I got divorced. It really isn't working anymore for me. If I take it 1/2 hr before going to sleep, I'll fall asleep for about 2 hrs & then I'm up & down all night. If I take nothing & wake up 2 hrs later, I take it then with the same result; only 2 hrs sleep. I can't even remember the last time I had a good night's sleep. I want to take nothing anymore, but I don't know if my body thinks that's even possible. So I give up!
