I’ve had insomnia for about 3 weeks and I bought some this week to try and break through. I had a couple restful nights and a couple nights where my wakefulness window was pushed back by 4h (instead of 11-3, 3:30-alarm)

From what I understand you should not use it for longer than 1-4 weeks presumably because you will screw up your body’s melatonin cycle even more than the insomnia has already.

Any chemical in the body that ends with -onin, in my experience, tends to be extremely pervasive with a complicated series of effects and should probably not be trifled with.
