Ok, being wide awake at 5am is _very_ _annoying_, especially after going to bed at around 11:30p. I don't even have any idea why!

Well, I note that I'm using melatonin in order to make myself at all sleepy at night, so my experiences _will_ be different. And yesterday, I was entirely unable to get out of bed until 1:30p, even though I was awake and not actually _sleepy_ at around 10a.

I have no idea when I would feel able to sleep without the melatonin, even considering that I slept only a few hours during the trip home.

I am admittedly a morning person more than a night person... but... I find it a _lot_ harder to go to bed when not tired than to force myself to stay up later. So east->west is reasonable to be easier for me to adjust to.

Using seratonin, yes - I'm on SAM-e because of winter, and returned to using 5-HTP - also for winer - when I got back to the states (it's not legal in .au, so I did not bring it with me).

Do you have melatonin for galaneia to use? It _will_ help, assuming that she dosn't have strange reactions to it.

Bleargh. I meant melotonin in the first place. I'm not clear on the connection between Serotonin and sleep, though it's an interesting question.

She did get some from her dad...I'm waiting to hear a report on how it affected her. (In general she has strong reactions to drugs, so I suspect it will help her greatly.)

melatonin: Ah, ok. I had no idea if seratonin might actually be what you meant. :)
