insomnia

That could be possible. If anything I would blame my hydroxycut. I already dropped it though and sleep better. Also low carb diets do have an affect on sleep paterns.

I was taking standard (Walgreens) sleeping pills, just one a night, works pretty well. I have been off them for about a month though, same active 25mg found in Tylenol PM and others. I have never tried melatonin yet.

Alcohol before bed will disrupt sleep, not promote it.

It interupts natural sleep patterns true, taking away from the quality of sleep. Not to say that light alcohol will cause lack of sleep, eh.

I have had problems my entire life, and I am fairly certain I know why (natural problem tied to serotonin/melatonin). Regularity is the first step, the same sleep hours every night, and ideally wakeup times - but I do sleep in a little on the weekends but I can't sleep in more than 2 hours or so over my normal wakeup time. I do nap about an hour or so a day after I come home and get a meal in me.

Isnt 7 hours the minimum for good sleep patterns?

I wish I had problems sleeping-I think I could fall asleep at any time of the day!

7 hours is the average the last time I saw a survey, 4.5 hours for night workers. I prefer to have 8 if I can.

I get about 7 thank god.

Im was into the melatonin for a while, but it makes me groggy in the morn. I once tried some over the counter sleep pills, but they are the same. I guess im gonna have to resort to the occasional vodka shot b4 bed.

Let me know if anyone has used anything that is low on the grog side.....
