Thanks for sharing this, Orema. I have been wanting to try melatonin, but I've heard it makes you groggy in the morning. Could you share your experience?

You’re welcome. This brand doesn’t leave me groggy in the morning. I mention the brand because a different brand didn’t work at all.

Before the melatonin I was taking a prescription sleeping aid, Ambien, along with cannabis edibles to help me sleep. So my body is accustomed to sleep aids. Also, I tend to wake up early and stay in bed for a couple hours reading the news before getting up. But once I’m up, I’m in action and am ready to exercise and start my day.

I suggest you try it and see how it affects you. I’d start with a small dosage (3 mg?) to see how it works.

Good luck and let us know if you try it out.

I will chime in and say that I use the same dose of the same brand and it works well for me too.

I slept 4 hours, which has been normal for me lately. I hope to get back to 8 hours again but that may not happen for at least another 3 weeks.

I am clearly not getting a full 8 hours tonight, since I am here on the Planet.

Now that we have one of these Sleep Number 360 degree “smart” beds, Dear Wife and I sleep soooooo much better!!! According to the bed’s app, we both get an average of about 8 to 9 hours or better each night.

These beds are amazing and Dear Wife and I heartily recommend them to anyone who is looking for an excellent’s night sleep.

I hadn't heard of this! I'm going to talk this over, sounds pretty cool but also weird to think my bed could be monitoring my sleep. But my watch does now so...

I've been sleeping so much better with a medication that tames my nightmares. It's shifted me from sleeping 4-5 hours with frequent wake ups and anxiety to often 7-9 hours with minimal waking and often no anxiety.

It's pretty life changing.
