Good alternative to melatonin for those not gettin' enough rest

Welp, aside from doin' 10 shots of Vodka or smokin' a big J'...try this...

Maybe a lot of you guys and gals already know about this, but I figured why not post it. I've been havin' trouble sleepin' (mostly stress from deadlines at work I think) as of late. I didn't want to take Melatonin because everytime I have, I've always awoke the next morning groggy for about 2 or 3 hours. So I asked my doc', and he suggested Chamomille (sp) tea. All natural herbal tea you get basically anywhere. Made a cup at about 10:00 last night...was out like a light at about 10:30. Got 8 1/2 hours of sleep last night and felt great when I woke up. About freakin' time! Since sleep is so important for training, thought I would pass this little tid bit along in case anyone out there didn't know about it. Later!

It works, but I think it tastes like shit.

Some people like it OK, but I ain't one of them. But hell, with the trouble sleeping I've had this week...givin' it another shot.

Tea

Tried it in the past. Doesn't work. But I agree it does taste like 'shit'.

I love that kind of tea personally, and yeah it helps a little.

Welp to each their own Works for me. And if you add a little honey or sugar to it. It takes great.
