Melatonin makes my girlfriend hallucinate : (.

Also, I cannot sleep.

: ( : ( : (.

After years of complaining about it, the doctor finally gave me some pills. I got one that sort of works like valium and is supposed to chill me out and let me get to sleep. Then I have another which is an atom bomb, I take it and I'm out 10-12 hours and still tired for 3 hours after I get up.

I build up tolerances to both, so I try to juggle between them, to keep my body off guard. I think my body has figured out what I'm doing and put a stop to it. The valium one is letting me sleep like 2-3 hours, and I'm afraid to take the atom bomb because I have things I want to get done the following day. I even threw a night of heavy drinking in to take a day off from the pills, I've still got nothing.

So it's like day four of 3 hours a night sleep. There's absolutely no reason for me to be up this early.

It's pretty safe, and it doubles as a very effective anti-oxidant.

YES!

Melatonin is the shit! It works soooo good. I am not sure what form you have all taken but, I find the pills do not actually work that well. If you get the liquid shit though,watch out! It seriously will make you dead sleep.

It is kinda pricey but it fucking works. If you get the liquid it is kind of sweet and tastes not that bad at all.

You want to make sure you have at least 8 hours to sleep when taking it. Do not take it if you don't plan on sleeping within 30 minutes of going to bed. Taking it with booze is a bad idea.
You can also have incredibly lucid dreams on it, cause you dead sleep.
Sometimes you wake up incredibly groggy and zombie like cause it has not worn off yet.

But to actually get some sleep, you need it! Natrol is the brand I use

I can't get to sleep if I've had even the slightest amount of pot. It's a terrible, terrible feeling- exhausted but anxious with a persistent knot in my stomach, like nervously awaiting a jury's decision. I don't understand how some can do that (DNA makeup?).

People react different to certain substances for sure. I think with weed, if you just keep smoking it and pressing beyond the anxiety and such it passes. I know people who smoked weed everyday for months to just get pass the anxiety and to analyze why the anxiety was happening. They learned to control the issues. But it is a lot of work. If you need to sleep I highly suggest the liquid melatonin.

I find that if you don't smoke each day the first hour or so of a joint is a bit more high energy. It takes that long for you to 'unwind' from the day. While you run all the garbage of the day over in yer brain you have a slightly different perspective, so the response may well be nervousness (for most people). When you've forgotten about all the silliness of the day, and you're more concerned with how fucking awesome the Olympics are, and the chocolate percentage in the cake you're going to nibble on, you'll get into your sleep much more easily.

I spent all day ache-y and exhausted. I lied down around midnight and read for a bit, then closed my eyes probably around 1am. It's 5am and I've been up for about 45 minutes, lying in bed hoping that I would fall back asleep.

And here I am.

I started taking Melatonin this week.

First night worked like a charm, second night - worked ok - got me to sleep.

Took some last night, went to sleep, and...


...dreamt that there was a wasp flying around my bedroom, so I tried to knock it away. But then there were more wasps, and I thought "crap, I'm going to have to get up and find the nest" so I go to turn on the lights, but the lights won't turn on. I think the bulb is out, so I go to the next room to turn on the light there and find the bug spray, but the light there won't turn on either. I think maybe it's a power outage, but the fans are still on, and that's when I realise evil has entered my home.

I walk into my living room, and in front of my TV, watching nothing but static (a la Poltergeist) is some being/person in a red hooded sweatshirt which is pulled low over their face (yes, an evil hoodie) with their hands raised like they're worshipping the T.V. They're the source of the evil I can feel in my house so I go to attack them, start running at them, and...


...then wake myself up because I am shouting in my sleep.

I'd been asleep for 5 minutes.




Thanks Melatonin.

See you again tonight.
