keeping you up cause you're thinking about them? Or are you doing a working 28-hr day in 24?

Take melatonin - it's not a drug, and it helps you to fall asleep and it's not hard to wake up when you take it. It's a food supplement. It's good if you need to get up early and can't fall asleep worrying about getting up early

I take Biotin (for hair), Pantothenic acid (for energy and it's always listed on shampoos, etcs.); psyllium (metamucil) and some stuff for cholesterol (sp) and am in the middle of an order to Puritan's Pride (online) whose B1G2F expires on the 14th...then it's back to B1G1F...

Sorry you asked?

I don't really take vitamins - I have them and every couple weeks if I miss too many good meals, will take one. "C" if I have a cold...

Sorry everyone, please ignore...
