[QUOTE="bluehdmc, post: 452073, member: 18471"] I'm 55, I use melatonin, don't have the hangover effect, (I guess everyone's different). I also where a black sleep mask and have a couple of cd's that are for sleeping. I just recently got 2 of them. The instructions say to rotate them every so often. So far I've just used the 1st one, leave it on repeat and find I sleep a lot better with it. Saturday's are basically a waste for me though, I get home around 6 am, try to go to sleep by 8, wake up around 2ish and just laze around the house. Fortunately I live alone, only thing that disturbs my sleep are the landscapers in the daytime. On the road, I do the Satellite radio, stop at rest areas for bathroom breaks, and try to park a little distance from the truck so I walk. I also take B vitamins with my meal and don't try to sleep then. (I don't want to get in the habit of sleeping at say 1am and then end up running late and my body wants it's hour "nap", when I'm still driving.) It's the long run's that seem to make me feel this way. When I had one of those runs with more legs, (run to the rail yard, come back, go to another hub, etc.) I was in and out of the truck more and rarely felt tired, more work than a drop and hook and drive 300+ miles a nite, but you might try to bid one of those jobs.
