    I’m awake, my kids are at school, I don’t have to be at work till 1, and the house is quiet. I’m lonely right now 😞

    Melatonin dreams: weird enough that I’m happy to already be forgetting them

    I dream like Fantasia on that stuff. Scares me.

    Yeah, I remember waking up a few times thinking “when is this weird dream gonna end?” Then I’d fall asleep and it would start right up again

    Last night my dream was just the weirdest. I can’t even.. I don’t know how to even describe it. Church services on a train that was actually a really long (length, not time) hay ride except it was also a rapid fire crossword to reveal clues as to who kidnapped a kid in the neighborhood and the detective (who was also my crush) was part miniature dog/deer

    ...that sounds a lot stranger than mine. The only fragments I remember are a revolving door and a snarky lady and her kid

    Well the worst part was that I couldn’t get any of the crossword clues because they were all nonsense words and i could barely hear over the ladies shoutpraying in the back and I’m still mad about it tbh 😑

    Maybe I'll shoutpray in hopes of getting out of my morning meetings today

    What could go wrong?

    Such a matter of perception--that sounds like heaven to me, heheh

    I do nit recommend the gummies. They actually taste aweful and chew like 20 year old gummi bears.

    I’ll second this. I just picked up some 3mg tablets cause they work for me, just generic or whatever from my local Meijer (regional-style Walmart)

    Are we still talking about melatonin? I tried that stuff back in the day and it felt like nothing to me. Then again I had little babies at the time and maybe nothing can touch that kind of tired/insomnia

    For me, I notice a difference if I’m trying to relax to go to sleep. If I take one then stay active, it doesn’t make a ton of difference. If I take one and try to relax, it helps me fall asleep—whereas without it, I can get quiet and relax and lie in bed thinking for hours.

    Makes sense. And if you do the relaxing thing without it, I’m guessing your mind keeps going?

    Oh yeah. My body doesn’t like to fall asleep before 2am in its own, but work doesn’t like me to roll in on my own schedule in the morning. Melatonin helps me keep “the man’s” schedule so I can function within “the man’s” world

    Wondering if I'm the only one who types up a lengthy response to someone's comment on here and then erases it because I'm afraid it's coming across the wrong way.

    Me. I do this.

    Those people over there in the “How do we perceive you” thread are brave. I’m not certain I would like those answers :D
    I haven’t peeked in awhile but last I checked it was mostly a love fest. Plus, you are well-liked; people would say nice things

    That's my issue at times I just lay there in my own head -

    Some people claim it actually works better with a smaller dose so i just crush ‘em up and smell ‘em. Knocks me right out

    In my real life, I’ve had the worst things said to me or about me so it’s just a fear of public humiliation I guess. Thank you for your nice words :)

    No, nothing bad going on in there (that I seen). I was talking about things that would be solely about me, I don’t think I’d want to hear it.

    Wouldn't driving be so much more fun though? "Oh you trying to cut me up?! BANANA SKIN COMING YOUR WAY BISH"

    12/10 would write off my car.

    That's why I can't bring myself to fully participate, too much like walkin a minefield in a public forum :/
