    I use Melatonin myself in the form of gummy bears. It really does work. Thanks again Sunshine. ;)

    A trick I was taught recently is to recite the multiplication tables in your head. Works like a charm.

    Most people under 40 wouldn't be able to do that without a calculator.

    About 3 grams of kratom has worked best for me to give relief from things that might keep me awake like leg cramping and other minor pains or discomforts. Can't be used alla time because one's tolerance builds and can become addicting. Sleeping pills, pot or melatonin never worked well for me

    Kratom is a mild opioid made by powderizing the leaves of a type of tree grown in tropical climates. Claims were made that it can work well to help addicts come off heroin addiction,  helps stop pain, relieves stress, helps you sleep and is pleasurable to take also various other benefits. After about 3 weeks I noticed I needed increased dosage for same effect,  I was letting it get away on me then I decided maybe couple times a week is OK , not every day -to prevent possible addiction. 
    I found only two places where it is sold locally -one of the medical pot dispensaries and the Hope Foundation. Available on the Internet also. 
    I found out about kratom from a friend who has been trying to cut down his heroin addiction.

  • I don't usually have trouble getting to sleep, but reading before bed always works pretty well for me. I'll often start to nod off while reading.
