"i have not slept more than 4-5 hrs at a time for 30 years until finally i couldn&#039;t take it any more. i had heard of melatonin and tried it for about 6 months, 50mg kinda worked i slept 5 hrs at a time. when i talked to my doctor about my sleep problem i was prescribed trazadone, i totally understand why people function so much better with 8 full hours of sleep. i am a new person who is a lot more pleasant to be around. i have taken trazadone for the past couple of years and couldn&#039;t be more pleased."
