Jim,

I get the GNC brand from drugstore.com, although you can probably get it at 
your local CVS, Rite-Aid, Walgreens, etc...

If you do decide to try it, you should know that you don't swallow the small 
pill, as your stomach acid will destroy the melatonin and render it inert. 
The bottle recommends keeping the pill under your tongue so that saliva 
slowly dissolves it and it's absorbed through mouth tissues . I don't find 
this particularly comfortable, so I tuck it between my cheek and gum and 
move it around now and then. You should take it about an hour before you 
wish to go to sleep. It's not a narcotic--it won't knock you out, and may 
have little to no effect, although I find it helps. Some people report an 
increase in weird or bizarre dreams. I find I sometimes dream about 
gorgeous, bare-breasted women riding fire breathing dragons, but that's cool 
with me. Smile.
