Hi @GreenMachineX .........No, GHB didn't work at all. Apparently there was a time when they were hoping to use this for severe insomniacs. I was in a trial....and it was a dismal failure. Yours, Lenora.
This is more like 4/6 now. The two failures weren't complete failures though, as they still helped provide a lengthy sleep, by there was difficulty getting to sleepMy wife has had successful sleep using tart cherry juice 3/3 times, as in reasonably ok getting to sleep, sleep long and uninterrupted, or being able to get back to sleep quickly after interruption.
Liquid copper sulfate tastes disgusting to me,
Hi Lenora, I live in the northeast. Just click on the link to see where I bought the toppers. No wrinkles so far.Hi @MonkeyMan......do you live in a hot climate I?'m in TX so that really matters to me.
Also, where did you buy your organic wood mattress toppers from? Do they wrinkle much? Sorry that I have so many questions.....but! Yours, Lenora
I still gotta read this whole thread so maybe someone already said something like this but I'm back to using a teaspoon of my sweet cherry concentrate before bed. (Tart cherry sometimes upsets my stomach.) However, like you said, I still need something to help me fall asleep and for that I use 1/4 of a children's chewable Benedryl.This is more like 4/6 now.

My wife found alternating between tart cherry and meletonin helpful, but didn't always work. Sometimes we'd give her valerian root too.I still gotta read this whole thread so maybe someone already said something like this but I'm back to using a teaspoon of my sweet cherry concentrate before bed.

(It has dyes which I shouldn't have but I don't do well with the liquid and it's propylene glycol and the adult dye free doesn't seem to work as well at all in the same amounts. My Mom used to ask me why the children's acetaminophen seemed to work better than the adult kind too. Idk. It just seems to...maybe because it gets in the system faster being chewable. ??) Saying all that to say if someone has MCAS they probably shouldn't use the kind with dyes.
The other thing that I sometimes take a is pinch of Swanson's Sleep Essentials but that's a mishmash of stuff and I don't really like taking it because it's too hard to check interactions with Rx meds. Plus, the GABA in it does something weird to my muscles but it does help me fall asleep. ??
