Same. Strong circadian rhythms.

True......and eat lots of cheese.

I've had a sleep issue/problem for over 2 years.

I fall asleep easily but wake up after 5-6 hours and my mind is raring to go.

I tried Melatonin but the 5 mg dosage never worked, and I increased it to 10 mg and it worked to the degree that I was sleeping longer but would wake up drowsy.

I think the brand was bad or weak and that's why the 5 mg wasn't working.

I went to GNC (even though they have high prices) to get (hopefully) a better brand.

It's 3 mg per pill with Melatonin GNC brand.

Has anyone had any positive or negative experiences with 1. Melatonin and 2. a 3mg dose?

Stop trolling the Health section.

And also, I may very well beat this on a technicality b/c of the breathylizer equipment.

As I said, I am paying a lawyer now and don't have a Public Pretender.

Glad to see you are remorseful for your third DUI. Pitiful excuse for a human.

I thought this thread was about sleep.

And also, I never said I was not remorseful.


You're making assumptions. Yes, I'm remorseful. This is going to cost me a lot of money.

Who started this thread?

flabbergasted is enough to say.

Regretful.

True. Remorseful would have been more like if you had hit and killed somebody. Be thankful you aren't that...

It's the Teakdoor effect. Some people are more susceptble than others. Try logging off for a few months and forgetting about TD completely.

^ seconded

If that doesn't work, try a few years.

No can do.

You see? It's an addiction. You can't keep away and it's making your head spin when you sleep. It has probabaly caused you to drink more alcohol and all the anti-social side effects that go with forum induced insomniacal drinking. You should tell your lawyer about that and perhaps visit a specialist doctor or clinic to obtain a certificate of incompetance to take to the court. Trust me. It will help.

No, not the case.

I don't need TD nor booze. I need sleep

Not sleeping b/c might do 90 days in Jail.

1. Accept that you will do 90 days in jail and look forward to it. Think of all the things you can experience and learn when you are in jail. You will be able to write about them all here on TD (once they let you out). You will probably be the only TD member who has done it. You will be unique; one of a kind, with all the kudos that goes with that.

That may be the case. Thanks for the kudos, but I'll be known as a jail bird.

2. Avoid going to jail and get rid of the worry. Shoot yourself. No more worries. No jail time.

No need for that. I'm doing great in life. I'm an optimist.

3. Drink yourself into oblivion. You won't give a fuck after that.

Just b/c I have 3 (possible) DUIs does not mean I'm a drunk. And I do not go on benders. I was barely over the limit when I got pulled over. People are quick to judge me. But they have done the same. It does not make it right, but they have done the same. And they are doing the same on motorbikes - yet - they point fingers at me.

The choice is yours, mate.

Yes, indeed. It always was. I'm a player.

That's the minimum for 3 dui's. The maximum is 364 days

Sweet dreams cockwomble

The 364 is suspended almost always minus 90 days (I'm not good at math) so 3rd time may be 90 days, the rest suspended.

Almost always.

I'm in WA state.

Here's a sleep aid. You can thank me later.



Let's hope the judge goes heavy on you.

Face it, you need ample time to reflect on your mistakes. Axl Rose would agree.

Write a novel,....errr. No, scratch that.

Do yoga everyday. You should be able to suck yourself off w/in a few months.

You demonstrate all the characteristics of a person sleepwalking through life.

Your only remorse appears to be the effect it’s having on your wallet. Selfish child.

You’re not a player. You are a carbuncle on the arse of humanity. Sad sack of shit.

I won't google it - even if it IS, a real word.

You are welcome.

Thank you.

You've just given me permission to change my nik. Will do.
