Do any of you have trouble with insomnia? I'm really having a problem with it on a regular basis. From talking with people my age (45) a lot of people seem to have the same problem. Any suggestions on how to overcome insomnia without drugs? :frustrated:
Sincerely,
Draculina
I can also vouch for melatonin. Two years ago I took a business trip to India. One of the people I work with used to be in the Air Force and they did studies on jet lag and melatonin. He gave me a schedule of taking melatonin to begin adjusting my sleep cycle a day or two before the trip and then another for the trip home. It worked in both directions. I never felt jet lagged on the trip over and though I was tired after I got home, I think it was from traveling (including layovers) for 30 hours. I would get extremely sleepy one hour after taking 3 mgs of melatonin and it was bad because I could NOT sleep for the adjustment to work successfully. Have not tried it for insomnia, though, because thankfully I don't have it.
