I was figuring on trying a lower strength when I run out of what I have. Since I've been only taking half-pills every night, and once or twice quarter-pills, it's lasted a LONG time. But 3 might work for me pretty well, too. I have noticed I've been having a hard time waking up in the morning lately with the 5mg, probably because I'm training my body to sleep at the same time every night and I've noticed I get drowsy even before I take the melatonin, so I don't need it as much as before.

My sleep schedule gets way too whacked out if I don't take melatonin for a couple of weeks.

 

Like, if my body got its way, days would be a 28 or 30 hour cycle. I can stay up for 20 hours no problem, and if I am allowed to sleep uninterrupted until I wake up, it'll be 8-10 hours.

 

After my husband died when I wasn't working, I would do just that, except on Sundays when I had to be at church to play keyboard or work in the nursery, and some days I'd do that on very little sleep.

 

Now that I have a full time job again, when I'm off the melatonin, I wind up getting 3-4 hours of sleep, and that not all that restful, and feeling like utter poo.

I'm not QUITE like that, but I've been afraid to try not taking the melatonin ever since I started...because it really did help. We actually thought I was bipolar II for a while, because I had some manic symptoms and plenty of depression symptoms (I was diagnosed with depression once and actually tried meds, which messed me up so I stopped). I would go a few days totally exhausted but unable to sleep. I'd finally fall asleep shallowly in the wee hours of the morning, usually about an hour before I had to get up for work, so I was miserable and irritable that whole time. After a few days of that, I'd finally be able to sleep again.

 

The melatonin helps, though. And I have to keep a regular sleep schedule otherwise my body freaks out and the melatonin barely helps me sleep. If I stay up past midnight anymore, I'd probably have insomnia the next night; that's what always happened before. I noticed that staying up till 4 to go to a concert would set off one of those 4-5 day periods of insomnia. Going to sleep around the same time every night minimizes that, and the melatonin makes sure I do actually sleep when I go to bed, because tiredness and sleepiness don't always end in sleep.

 

why do so many Bt'ers seem so sickly, all these pills, pill cutters. I guess it seems a little frivolous and unneeded, but for the most part we live in completely different societies. It's not that I claim that you don't have problems, it's just that they're so, just different to what normally happens here.

 

I'm pretty sure I'm offending someone, and I'm not going to end up explaining myself properly so I'll end off here

Even though I´m one of those sick people I understand what you are saying, Smiley. People in Europe and USA (read rich countries) have a lot of deceases that is rare in other countries. There are a lot of theories why that is so.
