Since I was a child I have had problems going to bed at a reasonable hour.
Although my unstable and restlessness childhood as it were I'm sure
contributed, and I may have started an earlier pattern that I can't seem to
break, even at 30. As a early teen, doctors dosed me with heavy prescription
sleep aids to help, I often couldn't get up at all in the morning, and would
blindly head to breakfast, stars still in my eyes. Thru out the last ten
years, I have tried over the counter sleeping pills, and benadriyl, to no
avail. Now, I take three melatonin's a night, and still don't meet the
sandman until the wee late hours. If I woke up early, this wouldn't bother
me, but I still tend to compensate, and sleep too late in the day.

My understanding is that most of the over the counter tablets are too
high in dosage, that you should only take 1 mg (or less).

Curious. I had started taking melatonin but had to quit after only a
few days because it made me continuously sleepy.
