That's exactly it. Like the motor in my head has been turned on and glued in the "on" position.

I've taken melatonin and it does nothing for me. I don't know about the valerian. I need something powerful though because I keep going and going unless something knocks me out cold. I have an unopened bottle of Zzzquil but idk if that will work either. :/ Might try to get something like Ambien if the z stuff doesn't work.
