Sounds like one would develop a dependency for melatonin supplements. I don't want a dependency to a pill.

1/2 a Xanax at bedtime.

I take the 25mg Benedryl gel caps (no dye etc). they work great and don't leave you groggy all day the next day. I started with Unisom but it's 50mg of the same stuff in benedryl. Sometimes I take childrens chewable at 12.5mg. I don't usually need help falling asleep but staying asleep.

I do plan to try meletonin. if anyone has any brand suggestions let me know.
