Two years ago, before going to Spain, I read about melatonin for jet lag in Conde Nast Traveler. We got some and have kept it on hand and taken it on trips ever since.

When traveling, it is excellent to help you get a restful nap on long flights, and to help you get to sleep the first few nights when your body clock is opposite of your local time zone.

At home, on the rare occasion that I can't get to sleep, I take it and get a very restful sleep and never feel groggy.

It is usually at KMart, Walmart, drug stores, etc. Best to get the tablets (vs. the capsules). The 3 ml tablets can be broken and just take 1 ml first to see how it goes for you. If you buy the capsules, they are much harder to divide.

We very highly recommend it
