    I’d find it hard to get any good night’s rest when 4 rambunctious teenagers want to hangout in your living room, watch tv, and order pizza all night.

    Not sponsored but MidNite™ Back To Sleep melting tablets have eradicated this struggle so I can spend less time trying to sleep and more time working.

      This really sounds like an ad. Also, using drugs to fall asleep probably isn’t a great long term strategy.

      Edit: I think I just commented on a post you made yesterday about involuntary twitching, that could be related lol

      I looked it up and it’s just 1.5mg melatonin. If you’re in the USA you can find dozens of brands with the same thing. Gummies, chewables, etc.

            • Ah, looks like lemon balm, chamomile, and magnesium sterate are the ingredients I recognize.

              Chamomile, you can find herbal sleepy time teas with it. The only downside is now you have an extra cup of liquid to possibly wake you up in the middle of the night.

              Magnesium you can get in bulk. Iirc sterate is one of the easier ones to absorb. Magnesium citrate is also available, but may give you the runs if you take too much and it’s not as readily absorbed.

              Lemon balm is a common herbal sleep aid.

              There are bunches more possibilities. The one that usually worked for me was skullcap as far as I could tell. Hops is another common one as is valerian root.

              That’s awesome that you found a combo that works for you, just remember that none of them are good long term, either for buildup side effects or tolerance, with the exception of melatonin.

    There’s a solution, but it requires not having both hands visible in the last frame (or even better, having a partner)
