OK then, I'll definitely look into satellite.

Melatonin - do you take it every night? Or just for a time, until your body gets into a routine of falling asleep at a certain time? I worry about side-effects. I'm allergic to a lot of things. But I'll definitely look into it.

I'm going to stagger back to bed now. Thanks for the info!

I take it every night, for the past 5 years. I don't suffer from insomnia anymore. I used to get it 4-8x a year where I would go for a couple of weeks on very little sleep. It's miserable.

I am not a physcian, so I will NOT comment as to whether it triggers allergies. I do know it is non-habit forming. I also know that you do not want anything to do with the 3 mg tablets. If you take half of a 1 mg tablet, or even the 1 microgram the effect is very close to the 1mg. However, if I take the 3 mg, the effect is that of a stimulant. It's like drinking tons of coffee and then trying to sleep. If you find that a single 1 mg is insufficient, you can always take another in an hour or two.
