Only jealous even though I don’t use anything anymore.

Dubman Well, the klonopins are for my anxiety, but they do have a good sleepy side effect! I don’t take them regularly anymore though, just as needed, but when I have tried to just take melatonin to sleep, it doesn’t do anything for me, which is why I think my other meds interfere 🤷🏼‍♀️

Don’t even know what melatonin is. Is it prescribed.

303abuser oh man…yeah I am gonna need to check that out! The work I’ve put in to make (shitty) gummies before makes me not want to do it ever again that way 😂

Kells77 haha sorry for the temptation, but it really is amazing. it decarbs and infuses, super easy to clean up, no more effort than making coffee. it’s not cheap, but i figure it’ll pay for itself in 6 months.

Dubman hormone - you can buy it over the counter in the US. Babies release it to manage sleeping patterns ie sleep when it’s dark

Dubman it’s otc and really cheap, any pharmacy should carry it.

I’m tempted to get to Vin rouge after all this talk.

Is Vin rouge ok for a low GI, zero sugar, keto style drink?

Hursty

All humans produce it naturally. Looking at any blue light in the evening, such as phones, laptops or TV immediately stops the production of it causing sleep issues for many people.

I use it for jetlag. You can get it from places like Holland and Barrett, you don’t even need to find a proper pharmacy.

A lot of airports sell it in the travel shop-type place, that sells all the junk like overpriced travel adapters, neck pillows and playing cards.

EDIT: You now cannot get it in Holland & Barrett, I just checked that. It has been reclassified in the UK and now requires a prescription. I have a massive bottle of 180 caps that I bought in Shanghai airport. Valerian or Ashwagandha will do pretty much the same, and is available in Holland & Barrett.

It’s never done anything for me

What are you expecting from it? It basically just tricks your body clock into thinking it’s time to sleep.

Valerian and Ashwagandha are different in that they’re herbal relaxants, but they work just as well for me when needing to sleep deu to jetlag. You might have more luck with them.

Along_the_Wire i find it mildly helpful for falling asleep initially, does nothing to make me sleep better or fall back asleep if i wake up. i really only use it on tolerance breaks as weed makes me sleep like a rock and i get a rebound effect coming off it.

As above, I would recommend Ashwagandha which helps me get a better night’s proper sleep. Melatonin knocks me out, but like you I sometimes then wake up.

bosstrabs i don’t normally have problems sleeping, it’s actually the only negative impact i’ve seen from eating keto, especially when i’m doing 16/8 fasting. even then i still get 8-9 hours most nights. i actually have a container of ashwagandha powder, my wife takes it pretty regularly for the reasons you mentioned, just haven’t tried it myself yet.

I get hold of these sleepers that mean I have to be within very easy reach of bed. Hits like a train after 15 minutes. I don’t have them often

I’ve tried to stay away from prescription stuff. The items I’m talking about are herbal remedies.

Fair fucks going for the big guns though, if none of the herbal stuff works for you.

303abuser The only problem is besides being a sleep aid, it boosts testosterone, so don’t do it for days in a row or you will have a massively aching nutsack, and probably best your missus doesn’t do it every day unless she wants hairy arms.

I’m sure she’s already aware of this when she bought some, women tend to do their research on dietary supplements.

303abuser

bosstrabs from what i’ve read on that, the testosterone links aren’t linear and i don’t take it frequently enough to really care. plus the wife is a pharmacist and a nutritionist, so i’ll let her figure it out. 😉

Halfway through an unintentional dry January, and sleeping way worse than usual. FFS etc etc.

Halfway through, and I miss beer today.
