I recently bought a bottle of Melatonin myself. I have never had a problem falling asleep but wake up a couple of hours later and lie awake for a hour or two before falling back to sleep. I have been taking Melatonin for a couple of weeks now. The first night I took it I sleep like a baby, all night long. I was so excited the next day. Hasn't happened since then. I read the article in the current issue of Newsweek yesterday about it. The article sounds to me like it helps you initially fall asleep and that may be true. I have a hard time getting going the next day after taking it. So I would have to say my experience has not been great. I'm sure every case is different though. Nancy Walker [log in to unmask]
