I suck at falling asleep. I'm always too stimulated and my mind is racing (damn you, Reddit) and I will be up until 4 or 5 in the morning and then have to be at work at 9:30. It's terrible because then I have to take naps on my lunch breaks. Lunch breaks should be for lunching. Anyway, a friend suggested I try Melatonin. I researched it extensively through wikipedia so what I read was probably roughly 80% correct and I decided to try it. I used it last night for the first time and I started feeling tired about half an hour after taking it. I went to bed at 12:30 rather than 4:30 but instead of sleeping until a decent hour I woke up at 6 and couldn't fall back asleep. What the hell is that? Tonight is night #2, we'll see how it goes.

They say it takes a full two weeks to completely regulate your sleep cycle, but yes it's very effective & natural.
