There's a bird that loves singing at 3:26 a.m. It has sung every single morning for the past 4 mornings. (Those mornings have been WORK mornings for yours truly.)
What kind of bird is awake and singing before the sun is up? I tell you what kind of bird - the kind of bird that wants to go to the rainbow bridge.
Tonight I am taking a double-dose of melatonin = 10 mg. It is natural...infact our bodies make melatonin. As we age, our bodies don't make as much. I also read that in a study they found that people who were healthy & ate healthy but died of a heart attack had a decreased amount of melatonin in their body.
My bottle of 180 capsules is right around $8 on Amazon.
Melatonin also is a radical scavenger naturally produced in the pineal gland and present in high amounts in the gastrointestinal tract. It is involved in many of the body, brain and glandular biological functions including regulating sleep/wake cycles, regulation of the immune system, and maintenance of my gastrointestinal lining.
And let's be honest - for 30ish years, the gluten I consumed ripped up my poor gastrointestinal tract.
I love that melatonin helps heal and will regulate my mini-coma-ish sleep cycle tonight.
And with you and God as my witness: If the 3:26-singing-fowl wakes me up, I will be purchasing a small pellet gun and I will find the perp.
