WAKEFULNESS

[jackshoegazer]

I AM AWAKE! I slept a whopping 9.5 hours (with the help of 9mg of melatonin) and guess what? I can't remember a single dream. I swear it's a conspiracy. For those of you who are unfamiliar with melatonin:

mel·a·to·nin (ml-tnn)
n. A hormone derived from serotonin and produced by the pineal gland that stimulates color change in the epidermis of amphibians and reptiles and that is believed to influence estrus in mammals; a vertebrate hormone C13H16N2O2 that is derived from serotonin, is secreted by the pineal gland especially in response to darkness, and has been linked to the regulation of circadian rhythms

It's great for increasing the frequency and intensity of dreams and regulating sleeping cycles, particularly if you don't sleep as much as you should or don't get much sunlight.

Melatonin rocks. <3 it.

It's great for getting over jet lag. Pop one when you want to go to bed, next day you'll be feelin' grand.
