I take Melatonin faithfully each evening and suspect it has no effect, but I have a wife.
I must take zolpidem (Ambien) to sleep, but each pill or fraction thereof is good for sixty to ninety minutes, at the very most 1600. So each pill is quartered, and I set off for a night of pill, doze, awake, pill doze awake etc until morning. (Thank God I'm retired.)
