Can I take melatonin gummies to fall asleep while over the road?

You dont take anything. Are you people stupid or what.

 

All good driver, just don't mistake the melatonin gummies with the other Colorado green gummies.

 

Yes they are otc, nothing wrong at all with them. I take those some. I've noticed after taking tbose 2 days in a row I'll start to get groggy so use sparingly. Strong dose of coffee helps.

 

Try them at home first and see how groggy you are when you wake up. If you have zero affects when you wake up then no ham in taking them in the truck.

 

Just be aware shifts are constantly changing in trucking. Waking up a little groggy at 7am probably won't hurt anything, but waking up groggy at 1am could be an issue an hour down the road.

If the grogginess wears off quickly, just wake up a little earlier than needed before driving.

 

I would very strongly recommend drinking red tart cherry juice before bed rather than taking any kind of melatonin supplement because those supplements can actually screw up your body's ability to produce and regulate naturally occurring melatonin. Red tart cherry juice actually helps aid your body in producing natural melatonin and it has worked wonders in terms of helping me sleep.

 

Everytime I tried melatonin, I woke up with a throbbing headache. Almost like a hangover. But I was never groggy. Just miserable from the headache. Usually Advil would take care of it, but I hate taking any kind of pills, so I quit using it.
Running as a local driver, with a busy life outside of work, I typically don't have trouble falling asleep though

 

Melatonin is OK. One warning, start with 1mg. If you take more melatonin than your body is used to you may have nightmares. I've take it for years. If I take too much I wake up sweating and having vivid nightmares. You can always increase your dose if it isn't working for you. I don't feel sleepy when waking up. You can also get melatonin in 5 mg and 10 mg.
