We share a unique perspective - - a sensitivity and awareness that is completely absent in daytime people. <br /><br />I think my spine was seriously injured when I fell on the ice twice last winter - it never properly healed.

I probably tried melatonin but honestly can't remember. It would certainly be worth trying again.<br /><br />I do remember that I used L-tryptophan for a long time - until all of the horror scares started circulating about the negative side effects.<br /><br />Valerian root usually works well for me. I've used it very often to calm my nerves. It doesn't seem to be a potent sleep aid for me, but it helps to some extent.Jonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02619128793632680659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8660581276521005822.post-91998413327548393812016-03-31T12:38:00.457-05:002016-03-31T12:38:00.457-05:00I too am nocturnal.

I think the wail of coyotes adds a touch of flavor to the mountain wilderness that captures it's allure. Which is why you embrace it. Sorry to hear about your back. REST it.

A few years ago (3 now?) I found a way melatonin works for me. Nothing like it says. I have to take 10 mg at about 7pm in order to be in bed around 12-1am. Unless you have been a nightowl all your life and greeted the dawn often, people wouldn't understand that being to bed almost every night before 2am is totally being a "day person" to people like me. Sometimes I feel like a pod person, but it makes life a lot easier if you have appointments or need to buy a vacuum. I have gotten so used to it now that the rare times I get thrown off my usual spread of hours--which still happens--I feel off until things are back to my new normal. How does the melatonin work? No clue. But obviously it doesn't work it's magic on night people in 20-30 minutes--LOL! Not this one anyways. Took a while to notice it was doing anything. Oh, and when I did quit taking it so see what would happen--my hours went back to all over the place and I was up all night again. Just an FYI. Might not interest you or even work for you, anyways.Ritahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02043285884495492598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8660581276521005822.post-8001894335962891332016-03-31T06:55:20.817-05:002016-03-31T06:55:20.817-05:00Since I have a dirty mind, I should probably keep ...Since I have a dirty mind, I should probably keep my thoughts to myself.<br /><br />My old vacuum is Kaput.
