Sleep is very important. I am a strong advokate for melatonin. It is a hormone from your pineal gland that lets your body know that it is dark outside, and hey it's time to go to sleep. I have given it to many patients and the side effect are very few to harmless. 0.5mg is all that is needed but your dc may prescribe 3mg (usual dose). You will have dreams as well (but don't worry they will not be bad). Ask your doctor, i am just a nurse that is going to go to a nurse practitioner program.
