I'm 68, not best of health. I've been having sleep problems for about 5 years. Aside from usually 1 toilet wake up, which I know is normal at this age, I have been tossing, turning, bouts of 3-4 am waking up and having hard time getting off to sleep again - of course feeling tired in morning and strongly wanting a 2 hr nap about 4-5 pm. Sound familiar to anyone? And for the last 5 years relying on sleep aid, 25mg of diphenhydramine. This does the trick, only problem, groggy throughout the next day. Friend recommended I try melatonin. Helped him. Well, I been on this dosage and brand for a month and I am impressed with it, actually really impressed and thankful. While I still toss and turn, make a toilet visit, the truly surprising change has been in the quality of sleep I'm getting with melatonin. It is very similar to the diphen 25 mg but no grogginess. I take it about 1/2 to 1 hour before nighty-night with all the other meds I take. Also my daytime energy levels are impressively elevated, though I still would nap at 4-5 pm, but I stay busy during this stretch. Another benefit of melatonin is the vividness of dreams. While everyone's personal inventory of dreams play weird, frightening and excitingly fun, with this they're all in 3d and 1080p surround sound. The frightening ones I just tolerate. Upon researching melatonin, many people in middle age and beyond produce little or no melatonin which is a natural product of our brains which helps us to enter sleep in the normal sleep cycle. I guess my brain is one of them. Melatonin has been a great help to me in again securing quality sleep compared to what I have been experiencing over the last 5 years. I hope this blurb will be of help to someone out there - trying buying the smallest amount and give it a try for a month. It doesn't help everyone, but if you're fortunate like me you'll truly enjoy some quality sack time again. Best of luck!
