[nabs-l] College schedule and sleep

Sat Jan 24 02:00:33 UTC 2015

Evening, Bridget,

I, too, use melitonin because I am reluctant to get into anything 
harder, such as Ambian, or any other narcotics. How long have you 
been using it?
A word to the wise which may not have found you yet, melitonin 
supplements won't knock you out like other "heavier" drugs would, 
therefore, you eat the pill at a time you are done being awake, and 
when it is time to sleep. Sometimes you need to lay there for a 
while, try to relax because it will grab you, and grab you 
definitely. You might always sleep through the night while on it.
Please keep us posted, okay?

24. I never thought I would get that diagnosis but, guess what.
