Thumbs up Melatonin for sleep assistance

I've seen a few threads regarding various sleep aids, but I've not seen anything regarding MELATONIN. Some of the guys here at MEM have used it after "quick turns" or mid-shifts, and most have reported very good results.

After conducting a little Internet research, I decided to give this supplement a try. I took one 3mg capsule before bedtime, and within 30 minutes was feeling very drowsy. My dreams that night were very vivid and abundant. Wake-up was initially very groggy, but I was wide awake and alert by the time my coffee was finished brewing. The day went off without a hitch, and I felt very good.

There were no bad side effects for me, but your mileage might vary. Google it and then try it yourself.
