Alteril actually contains Melatonin, Valerian Root, and theanine.

if the melatonin does not work there is an all natural sleep aid called ALTERIL that works pretty good also I have used it and gotton a good 5 hours of solid sleep with it hope this helps

That is the best attitude to have to get through it Rod.  It WILL pass, and you DO just have to take it as it comes..a little at a time.  If you need some support, just ask.  :-)

You're welcome Rod.  I wish you luck dude.  In case you're not aware of it, there's an herbal remedy called Valerian Root, that is also supposed to help with sleep.  Again, it had no effect for me, but has worked for others.  It smells HORRENDOUS, but again, if it might help, I say go for it.  From what I hear, the liquid form of it is better than pill or capsule form.  Good lucky dude.

Melatonin is a hormone that's produced naturally by the pineal gland in your brain.  People buy this OTC to help with insomnia and jet lag.  It's thought to be more effective with the latter of those two.  Some folks here swear by it, and more power to 'em.  For others, including myself, it didn't do a thing.  It can produce a nasty side effect of vivid and disturbing dreams for some, but I say, if sleep is a problem for you, you might as well give it a go.
