Melatonin works for some people, doesn’t work for others.
Lunesta too. Good that Lunesta works for you.
Yes - I had to ‘fail out’ of other sleep aids so my doc could get the insurance to actually pay for it. Others either didn’t work, or I’d wake up feeling like I had a head full of cotton for a half hour. If I take a Lunesta (or ‘Looney” as my wife calls them), I’ll get up in the morning and feel like a million bucks by the time I walk to the bathroom. It’s a generic now, so it only costs a few dollars to refill. Like melatonin, your mileage may vary.
