    I haven't taken any kind of OTC med like that is who knows how long. Usually stick to herbal supplements/natural junk.

    Actually caved and bought some melatonin the other day.

    How are all of the fellow insomniacs (or people on different continents)?

    Sleep is a naturally recurring state characterized by reduced or absent consciousness, relatively suspended sensory activity, and inactivity of nearly all voluntary muscles. It is distinguished from wakefulness by a decreased ability to react to stimuli, and is more easily reversible than being in hibernation or a coma. Sleep is a heightened anabolic state, accentuating the growth and rejuvenation of the immune, nervous, skeletal and muscular systems. It is observed in mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians and fish, and in some form also in insects and even simpler animals such as nematodes.

    I usually take drugs when I cannot sleep. It sucks and I hate when I cannot sleep. I take Xanax, over the counter sleep meds, bob marley drinks, dream water, Nyquil, Zzzzquil, sometimes I will just drink hard alcohol till I pass out. I will do almost anything just so I can get some sleep..counting sheep does not work for me for sure

    Man, I wonder why I posted this on Sept 20, 2013. Why did I work back to back 15 hour days? why couldn't I sleep?

    why did you choose to post that here? Just curious.

    Sleep is overrated, especially considering the planet has only maybe a few decades. My advice is work harder.

    I defy anyone to say they run a mile a day, and have trouble sleeping. These feet were made for walking.

    Both solid questions :D

    btw: i read some bad stuff about using melatonin regularly. Just the other day! Apparently lots of people here have insomnia and are buying melatonin.

    Sleep is a huge mystery, but its not rocket science and there is no miracle cure yet.

    Indica weed is the miracle cure. Ideally ingest 2 hours or longer before bed time. Especially on a workday this will do it.
