"i&#039;ve had lifelong insomnia. my dad will tell you stories about all the nights he sat up rocking me because i didn&#039;t sleep. i&#039;ve tried every over the counter remedy from melatonin, to valerian root, to sleepy time tea, to benedryl, to calms forte... nothing works for longer than 3 days at most, and it still takes hours to fall asleep. i&#039;ve tried prescription sleep aids, and lunesta has been by far the most useless of them all. it doesn&#039;t make me even a little bit sleepy. it does, however, leave the most foul taste in my mouth. it tastes like i&#039;ve been sucking on an old penny and chewing the white part of a grapefruit peel. and it doesn&#039;t go away with brushing or mouthwash, it&#039;s just in your saliva forever."
