“It’s quite amazing how many sleep with a teevee on all night in the bedroom and complain they don’t sleep well!”

I have never had a TV in the bedroom, for all the reasons you stated. I LOVE to sleep and I’m good at it! It’s sometimes the best part of the day!

Glad to see I’m not the only one that has had a bad reaction to melatonin. I’m also equally glad that it’s working well for others. :)

The low dose was too little to impact the results in any way.

The high dose, was enough, with its results.

Eh, I’ve tried it.

I don’t sleep any better and just feel groggier in the morning.

The herb Valerian can help reduce anxiety. I sometimes can’t sleep worrying about all I need to do, and Valerian helps with that. Sometimes I am just keyed up from an active day and melatonin helps with that. I seem to recall reading something about Vitamin B6 and vivid dreams. I don’t remember if it was too much or not enough.

The scopalomine sea-sick patches would give me full blown hallucinations. 1st crazy dreams, then hallucinated dreams, then just tripping out twice a day. That would have been a fun week if we hadn’t of been in 30’ seas off Nova Scotia in January.

For a few dollars, blue-wavelength-blocking googles can be purchased.

I sometimes wear them in the evening before I’m ready to turn out the lights.

Amber/Red light bulbs (think i a submarine) can also be purchased for evening use.

I had tried most things for seasickness. I was in Hawaii sitting on a bench on land, waiting to get on a glass bottom boat, when I began to feel seasick. I went on the boat, off the back into the water, like the rest of the people AND CHUMMED THE FISH. The fish loved me...gross I know. The effects lasted two days.

Have found that Motion Mate (mainly ginger) will let me do water things...with care.

Scopolamine is a wonder drug for me.

Melatonin works for me, too, but I don’t take it regularly. I don’t want to build up a tolerance.
