BREAKING CHARACTER REAL QUICK FOR A SLEEP SUPPLEMENT PSA FOR MY FELLOW VAMPIRES AND NIGHT OWLS:

so I've had chronic insomnia since early childhood and the only thing that helps me fall asleep without the "oh, I've been drugged" feeling is melatonin

and never once have I seen any instructions on the bottle anything beyond "take at or before bedtime"

EXCEPT

my doctor tells me last week that you're not supposed to do this otherwise it really fucks with your circadian rhythms! apparently the optimal time to take melatonin is around sunset (if you want to be asleep by 10pm-12am) because darkness is what naturally stimulates the brain to secrete melatonin

taking it too late (i.e., past 9pm if you intend to sleep around 11pm and wake up at 7am) can majorly screw up your circadian rhythm and keep you feeling groggy and sleepy af well into the day!!! which explains a lot for me personally — not the whole picture but certainly some of it! 

so what I've been doing is I take my regular dose as soon as I notice it's dark outside (around 7:45pm these days) and I start getting sleepy around 10pm-11pm depending on the day I've had. I'm fucking full on passing out by midnight, like phone falling on my face, gotta sleep now. and my sleep isn't perfect but it's a lot better than it was! I get a solid unbroken 6-7 hours stretch which is huge for me and I don't feel like death warmed over needing both vyvanse and caffeine to even think about functioning!

anyway if you already knew this then GOOD FOR YOU BUDDY WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME AT ANY POINT IN THE PAST 15 YEARS and if not, I hope you try it out and it helps even a bit! 🖤

trying to pull a prank on my girlfriend by putting my son melatonin in the hallway next to our bedroom waiting for her to wake up, except it's backfiring because i keep seeing something vaguely human shaped in the corner of my eye and looking over so quick i can hear my neck snap

I ate an entire bottle of my melatonin gummies. I didn’t feel sleepy at all, I was just having a snack.

Remember kids... don't do drugs. That said, a lifetime of insomnia has prompted me to take some odd mixes of over-the-counter stuff over the years and I've found THIS mix to yield some kooky dreams. As such, it seemed like a fun way to do a bit of a parody crossover with a certain dream baddie. Happy Halloween-Season!

“Please, I’m so tirED,,,”

“YOU CANT HAVE THE WHOLE BOTTLE!!!”

=======================

Just thinking about how desperate IH!Sonic would actually be for some proper sleep after years of not getting much/enough of it.

Also, ignore how I misspelled “melatonin” 💔

I've been trying melatonin gummies for the last few days, 'cause my sleep rythm is well, f-ed up and my brain never shuts up even at night, and so far they work surprising me well...

I take one and 30 minutes later my head goes a bit quiter.

Not silent, but a more bearable level...

I probably can't take them over a long time, but it'll help in the loud days I guess...
