I go St.Johns Wort + Melatonin about 45 minutes before I take a hot long shower. Then I just basically pass out..

St Johns lowers the effectiveness of many meds, just something to keep in mind. You can look into grapefruit juice for increasing effectiveness of orals.

I have used St Johns but not at night.
 
Drank some green tea right after dinner, finished my third day on ZMA, and took a hot shower before bed last night. I was in bed at nine and asleep by ten. Still not the type of "passing out" i'd like to do, but it's an improvement. :D I'll look into purchasing some melatonin later this week.
 
Hey how about laying off the ephedra and the caffeine... that's probably not helping :P You should take a week off training, sounds like overtraining.

Give it a shot, feels alot more effective than just the melatonin alone. Why is that grapefruit extract / juice increases the effectiveness of orals? Thanks.

I hate this.... F'king pisses me off when I have to piss early morning.
:yes: Same... :rolleyes: I get up everynight between 2 and 3 for a wizza....

One thing i think helps me go to sleep is a good root :dance: :lol:
 
melatonin is the best thing to try because it is cheap and usually works.

GNC's ZMA has valerian root and hops added to it which also help with sleep and i agree with Prince...it is a great supplement to be taking all the time.

If neither of these work, 5-HTP will work but it is a bit costly as it requires about 4 capsules to induce sleep...it is a form of Tryptophan...in addition it elevates mood and can curb the appetite (i like oral labs 5-HTP from GNC)
 
AMBEIN...........LOL Works wonders!
