RE: Holy Cow. Sleep is Important. (Some thoughts on the inestimable value of sleep, as well as the necessity(?) of sometimes...not sleeping)

Melatonin does the trick for me too. My mom suggested I try it, and at first I thought it would work just as well as all the other things she's suggested I try over the years, like valerian and herbal tea and so on… but no, one 5mg melatonin pill at bedtime really does the trick nine times out of ten. Perhaps my body is not making this stuff properly on its own.
