That’s the same one I got. It doesn’t say sublingual, but I used it like it was. The pill form of melatonin hasn’t worked for me and I was using 5mg. One dropper (as described on the label but is actually half a dropper) is one milligram. I had two mg and my mind was calmer after about 45 minutes and I drifted off even after being screwed up on caffeine all day. I hope it works for you!

I’ll fuck off now, **cochrane** , for at least a few hours. I am sorry to participate in the derail but this is where the conversation is. :o

You know, it didn’t occur to me it was his sock. I thought it was strange that you know who responded so quickly. Now that I look at his profile, he’s got a nice Shakespeare quote about death and everything. **FJ** , not the noob. :smack:

Dude, you have a very low tolerance for things not going your way.

I’d recommend some meds to help with that, but we know where that leads.

All you who sleep tonight  
Far from the ones you love,  
No hand to left or right  
And emptiness above -

Know that you aren’t alone  
The whole world shares your tears,  
Some for two nights or one,  
And some for all their years.

Nah…I was serious. I’m sure you know how liable one can be when divulging suicide plans online or hosting a website that allows this. I wanted to give him help, but feared being hit with an infraction and worse off…getting charged with assisting a suicide.

I tried it. 4 droppers. It made me tired enough to get off my computer, which is something. I slept pretty well until about 3:30am, when I woke up hearing a faint ringing that may or may not have been a real alarm outside. Then I hit myself with another dose and I made it to 8:30am.

Better, I guess?

How not to be caught trolling before you troll.

See now, fucking a cactus, I would imagine is a lot worse than fucking yourself. These are not logical rules.

Point of order. When one is fucking a cactus, one is really fucking oneself. With a cactus. Or have I been doing it wrong this whole time?

Fucking a cactus is definitely different from being fucked by a cactus.

[Here you go](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?p=20249791). I moved our little side bar on sleep remedies to another thread that was deep into troll territory. Sometimes we go with recipes, but we’re already chatting sleep, so what the heck.
