my thyroid is messed up, so nothing works until it is balanced or something.

ESteem makes a product called sandmans sleep and it is all herbal stuff that helps... but Valarian works  too.

Can't say -- since we're all individuals, nothing works for all of us.  It might have been too high a dosage.  I tried it years ago when most available was 3mg, and it did nothing.  Then I tried it again after research showed it worked better at lower doses, and it worked better.  But if you're problem isn't body clock related, melatonin isn't a sedative and it might not work for you.  It's all trial and error whether you're using meds or remedies.  So if at first you don't succeed,  well, you know.  There are some good valerian combinations that might help, and a good homeopathic remedy that works well is Calm's Forte.  But again, it's all trial and error for what works for you.

Hi reading all this info on sleep aids with alot of interest.
Worked shift work most of my life and thus alot of sleep problems, just interested to know if you've ever run across my problem with melatonin where it did absolutely the opposite and made me extremely hyper...to the extent of not a minutes sleep..tried it 3 nights in a row because I wasn't putting the connection together at first. interestingly my son said it did the same for him...I couldn't even guess what mg. I was taking this was a few years ago.
