Don't really want to suggest pills but if you have any excuse at all to take the recommended dosage of NyQuil or just a little more that always puts me out like Mike Tyson clocked me in the jaw.

word ive been a chronic insomniac for awhile and i just started to take melatonin 5mg's 2 hours before bed and it drops you hard and you wake up refreshed with no fear of dependency.

I'm pretty sure it's a natural chemical that helps you sleep. I used to take it a lot but it gave me weird dreams.

Yeah, darkening the pigment in your skin is a well-documented method of curing insomnia.

Oh, and honestly, turning off all sources of light, including clocks and anything else that may be glowing, and laying in bed is the best way to go to sleep. You shouldn't ever really watch TV in bed, or be on a laptop or anything. Whenever i get in my bed, i pretty much instantly go to sleep because i've associated my bed only with sleeping. The number of people who claim insomnia but never truly try and go to sleep is pretty funny.

its naturally in your body. I've been taking for a year and the worst thing that happens when I don't take it for a week is I have trouble falling asleep.

you can have a dependency to anything.

You don't have to have a physical addiction, you can start to tell yourself "I can only fall asleep if I take this medicine etc..."

yeah, but I really don't think the FDA would have approved it for OTC use and allowed ANYONE to purchase melatonin if there was some chemical dependency.

But then again, cough syrup...
