When I was working out of town I couldn't sleep. I'd have to get up at 6 but I'd be lucky if I could fall asleep before 3am no matter how tired I was. Sleeping pills helped but not a long term fix by any means. I now take melatonin with decent success when I'm having trouble sleeping. It's not something I use every night but probably 4-5 times a month depending on my stress levels at work. I've never had nightmares, funky dreams or next day drowsiness from it that I've noticed.

My sleeping problem have everything to do with stress when I have them. If I have huge projects I'm working on that are not going well or I'm worried I'm not going to finish I will probably have a hell of a time getting any sleep. Sometimes I hate my job and would like to go back to being a grunt and not someone people depend on for answers.
