When you are extremely healthy, lack of sleep can take a long time to catch up to you, but it will eventually, and it won't be pretty.
I'm in bed with plenty of time to spare, but don't always get the restful sleep I need. Lots of exterior stresses, and I can't seem to turn my mind off at night.
Not intending to derail this thread, but what are some non-pharmaceutical ways to fall asleep? I've used melatonin in the past, but not convinced I want to rely on that each and every night.
There's absolutely nothing wrong with taking melatonin every night, I have for several years (10+).
The anti oxidant benefits from melatonin are far superior to any other anti oxidant.
I also take this Natural Calm: The Anti Stress Drink with melatonin prior to bed.
