I’ve never been a good sleeper. I kept my parents up at all hours of the night in the early years and tossed and turned my way through my youth and adolescence. As an adult, I often lie awake for an hour or more after bedding down. If I wake up in the middle of the night, I often see the clock tick from two past three and on toward four. But on some glorious nights, I remember to take my melatonin supplements, and I finally get peaceful rest through the night.
While adding melatonin to my nightly ritual hasn’t magically made my sleeping woes disappear entirely, they have helped me fall asleep faster just about every evening and stay asleep through the night better than I have since… well, ever.
