Hey Jackie, I'm really glad to hear that your outlook has become rosier, and that you don't have to worry anymore about being able to fall asleep anymore. Like you said, it’s pretty great having something that gives you the reassurance or guarantee that you’re able to doze off in a few minutes, and won’t have to think/worry about useless things all night. It definitely puts off a certain strain on things. I've struggled with sleeping disorder for about 10 years now I think, and it doesn't help wondering each night if you're able to even function the next day as a human being, or just wander around like a friggin' zombie 
Saying it sucks is an understatement for sure 
Even though melatonin is a naturally produced substance, I rather abstain from using it since the payoff of feeling a bit more sleepier at night doesn’t weigh up to the sure notion of feeling (even) less centered/grounded the next day if I take it. Perhaps it extends REM sleep, or I have issues with processing the melatonin? I don’t know.
When I woke up yesterday morning I already felt a big shift in the quality of sleep and I could really notice that my appearance and my thinking were a lot better and clearer. The aid did wake me up a bit prematurely which caused my energy to collapse later in the day, but for starters it already shows a lot of potential. Today I slept until 12 PM. Even though I rather not wake up this late, I do have to say that I hardly feel drowsy, actually pretty clear headed. I probably needed the extra sleep.
On a side note, when listening to the aid it seemed to compress my worries and negative thoughts. It was like they disappeared as soon as they appeared. It’s pretty interesting.
Thanks again, I wouldn't have picked up this one if you hadn't used it and posted about it
