"i am over 50 and i no longer get the amount of sleep that i used to.went from 8 hours to now i&#039;m lucky if i get 5 hours and it&#039;s interrupted sleep.
i tried prescription sleeping pills once, but they had nasty 
 side affects
melatonin really helps. if you take too high a dose( larger than 3mg) you will wake up with a headache
i  break a 3mg pill in half and take it"
