saifaiBack to trying Melatonin. Been trying to do without any sort of sleep aid for awhile now, but ever so often I just can't sleep without something.
Had an odd experience with Half & Half today (if you don't have it where you live, it's a dairy product that's half cream, half milk). I think it was tainted. I opened a fresh bottle and it tasted almost like almonds. Very odd for a milk product. Didn't taste right, so I only drank half and threw the rest of my tea out.
Didn't toss the Half & Half though, because it wasn't sour. Just... off. Thought maybe it was just me, so I asked me Mom to test it tonight, and I got it out and it smelled bitter. Not sour yet, just... a bit like an almond-sweet buttermilk. I ended up pouring it right out. It was really thick like full fat cream.
So, so weird. I reported it to the store I bought it from. Not sure what to think. Tried to Google some reference on the smell, but nothing came up.
Bah. Short update for now. More later. Off to head into the basement so I can attempt to cool down.
Hope everyone else isn't melting where you are!

Date: 2011-07-13 05:55 pm (UTC)The melatonin works great, though I've found that taking a double dose will make me groggy and more likely to get dizzy. Depends on wear you buy it, but the 3mg tablets you can buy at the dollar store seem to work much better for me. I don't feel trapped in sleep at all either. It does wear off eventually if I've not slept well, like last night I ended up with only 5 hours sleep after waking up with a migraine. So it's an okay solution.
