    +if i time my pot consumption correctly it will usually make me sleep and a normal time, that kinda goes against what i said earlier, but i will probably always smoke so i don't personally have a problem

    Now, it can have the opposite effect, like it has tonight... I went to the bar at 6pm yesterday and was shitty drunk by 11pm... its now 5 am the next day and no sleep, but i have been smoking every 2 hours. :D

    I am trying to comprehend what is on adult swim but can't.... = full metal alchemist: brotherhood ,,,, ? huh?

    Melatonin doesn't make me tired, but it lets me go to sleep when I want to, and I always wake up the next morning feeling VERY rested. The lucid dreaming is a nice plus too. Don't make a habit of taking it too often though, because it can really fuck with your hormone levels.

    Lucid dreaming freaks me out, does melatonin give you guys the freaky dreams? I get really scared by freaky dreams.

    Nat really "freaky" dreams. Just really vivid dreams. So vivid to the point that I can actually control the dreams.

    Melatonin is a hormone, and taking it long-term can cause your hormone levels to fluctuate, which can affect mood-regulation. I also remember hearing that if you take it long-term, then it can make it more difficult for your body to produce it's own melatonin.

    When I say "long-term", I mean 2-3 months or longer.

    i like carnavas better, but their new one is decent. there are some really nice guitar parts in "growing old is getting old" and "sort of"

    I usually take two 3mg melatonins at one time. They just make me feel relaxed enough to sleep, once I get to sleep I sleep through the night on them and I wake up feeling refreshed and not drowsy at all.

    melatonin usually just makes me tired if i take it a little while before i go to bed. but not overbearingly tired. like, if i got up and decided not to go to sleep then the effect would be totally gone. i think it works best if you take it around sundown. i think melatonin is a chemical that is realeased dependant upon natural sunlight that makes you drowsy. so when the sun goes down that is when your body releases melatonin. so if you take a pill also then it just gives you more melatonin to sleep with.

    it also gives me very vivid dreams like a few people on here have said.

    Melatonin is fine just as long as you don't take it every single night like I did. It eventually became ineffective for me.

    I hear ya, guess I overlooked the dependency issue since I've been lucky enough to avoid it myself thus far (except caffeine which I am heavily dependent, but who gives a shit about caffeine lol)... definitely makes sense when you put it that way though, that's why I ask questions :) BTW who's the artist in your sig? Looks familiar...
