Fellas, I can't sleep! its seriously driving me crazy! 3 nights now i've had a bad sleep after the best training week of my life...I trained 5 days straight so I really needed the rest and on the day of my off day i had an aptitude test to do for a job so i was stressing it and ended up not sleeping....sure enough i caught a bug to go along with it....cold/sore throat. 
 
yesterday i bought a whole bunch of melatonin but it didn't really work....any tips on falling asleep guys i'll try anything.

or, also, I forgot, turkey for the tryptophans (you can also purchase tryptophans, an amino acid, in bottled form)

Upon reading further into it, take L-Tryptophans in bottled form, apparently the protein in turkey interferes with sleep inducing effect.

See "Does Eating Turkey Make You Sleepy?" http://chemistry.about.com/od/holidaysseasons/a/tiredturkey.htm

stfu punk.

No place for this shit here.




Tryptophan is a good choice, also barley is pretty good. have some barley extract with red wine, you'll sleep like a baby.

stop the melatonin!!

your body will adopt to it VERY fast and you will have to supplement longer.

Try to stay as natural as possible, herb teas, plant extracts, amino acids.

medication fucks your system up and makes the body rely on it. Not good.

You can try benadryl. It works not addictive, and no hangover as long as you can sleep at least 8 hours. You will sleep very well guaranteed. In some countries it is used specifically as a sleep aid.

i never get tired,my resting heartbeat is 125 a minute(family problem)i still eat like every two hours

even if i dont sleep 24 hour or more i never get tired,if i eat allot of carbs when i am a little sleepy that will knock me out for a nice long 2 hours

[pac-man]

If this happens again in the future try taking "Simply Sleep" by Tylenol if melatonin doesn't work.  Its like taking NyQuil without the Acetiminiphin(sp?).

I go through sleeping problems every now and again and that stuff will knock you out!

[benchmstr]

well i am going to pick up my bitch to come to my beach house and watch aqua teen hungerforce,and bone till the sun comes up .so at least i have my sleepless night is planed

BENADRYL helps me everytime, i sleep like a baby for 10-12 hours if i take it.

Hey benchmonster!
Resting heart rate 125? Isnīt that dangerous? It sure taxes your heart way too much.
If you were being serious why hasnīt your doc prescriped you some beta blockers?
Esp. heart specific beta blockers.

Agreed.  Your body will adapt to the Melatonin fast.  Stick with Valerian Root.
