Last last night I couldn't sleep and ended up conking out around midday, which screwed me over last night :/
I don't know whether I should nap or not. I only have 1 thing to do today which is in the late Arvo, so I could have a nap either now or around noon, but then it feels like I'm surrendering to the bad sleep cycle again. But on the other hand if I don't and I fall asleep and miss my thing, that's probably a worse outcome
Oh, and I don't remember who suggested iherb for melatonin but I've given up trying to get an actual prescription for it, so thanks for the recco. I'll order some next week
Just a heads up i found this a bit hit miss. Sometimes it worked a treat! Other times it only minorly helped and left me with a pretty bad hangover.
Hangover every time for me, even on 1mg. 1/7 would not recommend if me.
I previously had a prescription for it and never had any issues. How many mg were you taking?
A lot of the commercially available ones online are way higher than what was originally recommended (0.1-0.3mg). I think part of the reason why it's a prescription drug here is so you get prescribed an actually useful dose and not like 10mg or whatever.
I will say it's helpful for shifting sleep patterns but not necessarily maintaining them or ensuring quality of sleep. It's definitely useful but as everyone else has said other elements are required too.
