Love this stuff:)
I've lately started to have a bit of a sleeping disorder, thanks to working night shift. It's gotten pretty bad, to the point I've felt at a loss. I've tried all kinds of things for sleep. Most recently, I started this because most nurses I work with recommend it. It's truly saved my life in certain situations. I don't use it if I'm nervous of tossing and turning and NEEDING sleep, but I use it to get my rhythm back when I'm off.<br /><br />Pros: works within an hour with 0.5mg, half hour with 1mg.<br />Stay asleep.<br />So tired I can't keep my eyes open<br />Solid sleep, feels like it's real sleep, not like sleeping pills such as Ambien or Benadryl or NyQuil, that feel like MEDICINE (yucky side effects!)<br /><br />Cons: hangover. Sometimes I get a raging headache. And sometimes, with 1mg, I can NOT get up the next day if I've taken this. And I'm not a snoozer. So that sucks, but still completely worth it. (Im 5'5&#34; and with 126 lbs, so maybe base your dosage off your size. I have a friend who takes 3-5mg and she's fine, but she's 5'9&#34;).<br /><br />Idk if this is a con, but I haven't tried it for anxiety-induced insomnia just cause I'm too nervous to take it and have it not work. So, I'd say it's good for relaxing sleep and maintaining sleep. :) life saver!
