Melatonin supplements.

Has anyone tried any?
After two days without sleep (well maybe 2h a day total) I decided to order some.
I really need to sleep properly. I have a very busy schedule the next few months and may even have to fly abroad. I am currently in a not-so-good mental stage, despite actually having a good life, like nothing really has to bother me that much. I don't want anti-depressants in this stage because I feel like it will be an over-kill in my current situation, but I really don't want it to get any worse. I thought that managing my sleep will help better.
So found this thingy and it looks worth a try.

Has anyone tried something like that?

melatonin doesn't work for me. you don't need antidepressants for insomnia either, there are hypnotics like zolpidem or benzos to choose from

Some of these gummies have sugar inside and other substances, but you can give it a try. There is a brand called pure encapsulations. Their products are supposed to be made entirely by only the necessary composition without additives or any other substances. If you want to keep yourself awake during the second part of the day, you can also try replacing coffee with sugar for some short lasting boosts of energy. Sugar energy effects don't linger for so many hours as coffee energy effects do which is good if your want to sleep at nights. Also try to work our during the week to exhaust any pent-up anxiety in your body.

Insomnia in my case is a symptom of a larger problem antidepressants should help with. I feel it is an overkill and I want to solve the symptom that bothers me the most and let everything else satle on it's own.
I don't want to wait for a visit to a shrink to get prescription meds, I want to solve it in less than a few months long waiting list.
Thanks for the input though

I've had varying success with melatonin - sometimes it helps, a lot of the time it doesn't, but if I'm having issues sleeping, that's the first thing I will try. If it doesn't help, I try promethazine. If that doesn't help, I step up to zopiclone and promethazine. And if that doesn't work, I just have to wait it out until I crash.
I tend to find that small doses work better than large ones - 2-3mg seems the optimal dose for me.

Thanks a lot.
That's what I was thinking about meds, trying the weaker one first.

That sounds more like rebound and tolerance than actual addiction.The week off can feel brutal because your body is used to being nudged, but it usually settles after a bit.
