PhilosipherStoned Posted July 7, 2017 Posted July 7, 2017 Supposingly it's the main chemical in the brain responsible for making you feel tired. I've seen it in the suppliment aisle, but I've never actually used it. I feel like I would just get addicted to sleeping pills, I don;t even know what the active ingrediants are.
fuggnificent Posted July 7, 2017 Posted July 7, 2017 Melatonin is the active ingredient and it doesnt make you tired as much as it helps you transition to sleeping a little easier- hard to explain.
PhilosipherStoned Posted July 7, 2017 Author Posted July 7, 2017 I really don't need you to explain it and I'm aware of the process entirely I just wasn't trying to get into a neurology lecture, but melatonin is the chemical the brain releases that gives you the sensation of being sleepy if that sounds better to you. I just asked if anyone used suppliments Jesus.
André Toulon Posted July 7, 2017 Posted July 7, 2017 Nah, I don't use supplements.....Only real drugs in my cabinet.
PhilosipherStoned Posted July 7, 2017 Author Posted July 7, 2017 Nah, I don't use supplements.....Only real drugs in my cabinet. That's great I'm really happy for you. I may never be hard enough to use the drugs in your cabinet.

I just asked if anyone used suppliments Jesus. Yes. I take melatonin and valerian, and if they don't work, I take benadryl, and if that doesn't work, I take ativan.
PhilosipherStoned Posted July 7, 2017 Author Posted July 7, 2017 I only brought it up because Drank Anti energy drink used to fix me up pretty good, and except for one occasion when I chugged one on lunch break and was in the passenger seat instead of driving it never made me just crash... Supposingly it had melatonin in it.
Doom Metal Alchemist Posted July 7, 2017 Posted July 7, 2017 Apparently, if you take it and don't allow yourself the typical full 8 hours of sleep, you'll wake up extremely groggy. I've experienced this twice first hand getting 5 hours of sleep each time. I had to leave school after like an hour and go home and go to bed I was so tired.
Sawdamizer Posted July 7, 2017 Posted July 7, 2017 They don't do shit and fuck hippies that say they do.
blueraven1999 Posted July 7, 2017 Posted July 7, 2017 It sounds like Melatonin would work for you then. I'd try it if I was you. If it doesn't work, try inositol. It's a dietary supplement but it works for me.
bnmjy Posted July 7, 2017 Posted July 7, 2017 Schiff knockout pills seem to work well. Of course, if otc pills don't work yoy can readily get a prescription.
Rogue_Alphonse Posted July 7, 2017 Posted July 7, 2017 I have taken my gf's prescribed melatonin and it does nothing to make me feel tired I have to drink myself sleepy and even that doesn't work half the time.
Naraku4656 Posted July 7, 2017 Posted July 7, 2017 i've taken them before. it works sometimes if you're already tired then it might help but if you're super awake you might want to take something like Tylenol PM or something

It's a dietary supplement but it works for me. Yeah I know a good deal about sleep, and I'm pretty sure I cause this myself by being such a niteowl. I've just kinda always felt like I have to be up all night, and if you stay up long enough to let just a little daylight hit your eyes it fucks up your sarcadian rhythm and can end up severly inhibiting your brains ability to produce melatonin if you do it as much as I do..

Those drinks would do the same thing kinda. It makes sense. If you suddenly get an abundance of the chemical your brain is definitly gonna hit that shit like a crackhead fresh out of withdrawl..
