I wonder why it was gross. When I was a kid, melatonin pills were sugar coated. Anyway, why so bored? Nothing capturing your interest right now?

Just lying in bed with my mind racing. Can't sleep and dont want to do anything that requires using my brain because that'll just make it worse

And this pill was just meant to be swallowed. I thought it was gonna be a fruity edible one. I was very wrong

If it was a compacted pill and not a gel capsule, then it could be meant for slow release and chewing it diminishes or even disrupts its intended function. I hope it still works for you. Something you can try is getting more sunlight in the day. Melatonin is a naturally occurring hormone in the body that is produced at night when the body senses the sun going down and the night coming on, so to speak. This is the main reason why blind people suffer from insomnia or erratic sleep schedules. Absorbing more sunlight through the eyes might help you tomorrow night. Give it a shot!

Will do

In the meantime, when I can't sleep I put on some long YouTube video I've seen before and listen with my eyes closed. The more I try to concentrate on listening to what's going on, the more I find myself drifting off until I completely fall asleep. Like, do the opposite of what you're trying to do and you might find yourself off to dreamland sooner than you think. I can stop posting if it's drawing you back in.

Nah it's all good I'll probably just pass out lol. The YouTube thing works for me too sometimes. Tonight just been a special one I guess

Thanks for the advice btw

I get that. I had trouble sleeping Sunday night when I knew I had to be at work in the morning. I was feeling so drained and unfocused at work the next day. Luckily, by some act of god, the internet and phones went down in my office so I couldn't work. I leaned back in my comfy chair, put my headphones on, draped my blanket over my head, and took a nap for about an hour. When I awoke, the internet was still out, but I felt refreshed. It really helped me reset an continue my day once it did come back.

But I digress... I hope you finally relax soon. Have a good rest, TC.
