Do you know that awesome feeling when you get into bed, fall right asleep, stay asleep all night and wake up feeling refreshed and ready to take on the day?

Yeah, Me Neither!

Try Melatonin, 10 mg. Not a drug.

Fresh Pineapple as a late evening snack is full of melatonin.
Works well for a good night's sleep.

I’m hoping anyone getting up several times a night to pee has been to a urologist. That usually means something is off a bit. Was for me and my wife. And is a common issue.

Just had that type of night, but it is rare. Usually toss and turn an average of 22 times (seen from a Fitbit I wore for a week).

Of course it’s a drug, you just don’t need a prescription for it, it isn’t tested and it isn’t regulated.

As I understand it, melatonin is a natural substance in the brain, and the melatonin pills or gummies treat a deficiency that you may have. In that sense, it is not defined as a drug. Another example are vitamins and mineral supplements that are not called drugs. Relaxium contains melatonin and it is advertised as a non-drug sleep aid.

Yep…likely BPH. Ask me how I know.

Yep…if it alters your body chemistry, it’s a drug.

…and you just believe this add? That’s sad…

I don't believe the ad and I don't use Relaxium. But, I have used melatonin gummies to improve sleep, and they really work. Most other supplements do not work as they claim. If you believed every supplement ad on TV, you would be doing nothing but swallowing pills all day.

I take 2 L-Thiamine (natural enzyme in the body that relaxes you), and 2 magnesium glycinate. Once in a while I will add a melatonin (10 mg) but if I use it too much it gives me a headache. I’ve tried a lot of supplements for sleep and this combination seems to be the only thing that works. I even tried several CBD made for sleep and none worked on me.

L-Thiamine and Magnesium Glycinate come in various mg doses. Saying to take 2 doesn't mean anything without knowing how many mgs is in each tablet.

I wake up about 4 times per night to go to the bathroom. That's been going on for about the last 10 years. I never get into that desirable DEEP REM sleep. So after about 9 hours of imperfect sleep, I wake up feeling NOT refreshed and my brain will be fuzzy for several hours in the morning. I have resisted taking ANY sleeping pills. I stop drinking any liquids after supper and after 6 PM. I had to give up drinking coffee (which I loved) and I now have 1 cup of caffeinated tea in the morning. I can imagine that my poor sleeping habits will SUBTRACT several years from my life. The only thing that seems to help is when I exercise vigorously for a long period, mow the lawn, or work hard in the yard.

That can be corrected with a TURP procedure on your prostate. My husband has had two, the second one being done thoroughly. He can now go longer without peeing than I can!

That is TRULY a gift. Then you can accomplish MUCH MORE than the average person. Thomas Edison was said to sleep for 4 hours, plus some naps.

I just googled it and very quickly decided to get up 3-4x a night.

Yes and we are on a first name basis. He tried a few drugs to slow down by bladder and for now decided to live with it.

Getting up to pee is almost a relief from the constant flipping back and forth from the pain and numbness in my hips and shoulders. I don't think I've slept straight through the night in 10 years. Xray says a minor case of arthritis. Doctor says I'm just getting old.

But here's the weird part. I caught a virus at a truck stop in Missouri, coming home from seeing the kids at Christmas. Some moron in pajamas and a parka, with snot dripping down her nose, felt compelled to drop by McDonalds and sneeze all over everybody in line, while her husband was filling the car. I've been sick ever since, and finally just this week, I'm feeling well enough to venture out in public again.

The weird thing is, it somehow cured my arthritis. I still have to get up to pee, but my bed is no longer a torture device. I'd offer my cure to others, but sorry, I'm long past the sneezing stage. But it sure is strange. Somebody should study the "Missouri Virus"!
