Help Yourself Fall Asleep with Melatonin
We’ve been told forever that you must get eight hours of sleep for a healthy mind and body. New studies have come out suggesting that 8 hours of sleep is not necessary. Many people will see nor feel no difference between 8 and 7 hours of sleep. True problems arise when you are getting significantly less sleep than that.
Many have turned to their drug store for solutions to their sleeping problems. They may purchase a prescription drug or something from the pain killer aisle that has ‘PM’ in the name. Many people are fine with that, while others prefer to take a natural cure if possible. Melatonin may be just the thing they are looking for, since it is a natural chemical that our body already creates anyway and is readily available on the supplement aisle at most drug stores.
Melatonin is a chemical that our body produces as it gets darker outside and approaches the time we should go to sleep. Taking the little pill gives our body a ‘boost’ of melatonin, and helps your body naturally get tired and want to sleep.
You can purchase melatonin in the supplements aisle; it is sold in pill form. If you have choices, review the ingredient list and try to choose the bottle that has the least additives to the melatonin. Additionally, if their is a choice between naturally cultured and chemically created, our research indicates that chemically created is at this time the best choice. Its also best to start with the smallest dosage possible, usually 3mg.
Some doctors and researchers even think that 3mg may be a little too much, so you definitely want to start with 3mg (or less if you can get it). Before you begin taking with it, talk with your doctor about your sleeping problems and see what he thinks are viable solutions for you. Tell him you intend to take melatonin, show him the bottle, and get his approval before you begin.
