Its not that I cant get to sleep- the problem is I cant get to sleep WHEN I want to. If I dont wake up until 2:30, I'm not going to be tired enough to go to sleep 10 hours later at midnight. I havent been awake long enough to be tired at midnight, so I'll take a melatonin to fall asleep. Im told that melatonin is the natural chemical in your body that alerts you that you're tired. Theyre over the counter pills, and arent even in a child-proof container. I take one, about 30 minutes later I feel DRUNK, with a slight stomach ache, and 10 minutes later I'm out cold.
My body's natural sleep cycle, if left unaltered would be roughly bed at 5:00am, wake 2-3pm. I have forced myself to go to bed earlier by taking the melatonin, but it doesnt seem to be effecting my waking time as much as I'd like it to. Some days it works great. Some days I take a melatonin before bed and wake up 5mins before my alarm goes off and feel fully rested. But its still usually a struggle to get myself up if I have class at 10.
