Here’s the lights. Next year I hope to get some big lights to do the whole house roofline finally.

Murph, I would recommend editing out the post above. I don't know squat about the product...but I know it's not worth creating a record online.

ETA: Edited my post after Josh got my message.

I’m holding off on purchasing one of those for when I buy an electric car.

Murph, if you have a pistol license, I would recommend editing out the post above. I don't know squat about the product...but I know it's not worth creating a record online.

Much appreciated E.

Yeah, we went today, first time. Perfect day as the crowds were minimal. My wife said it was crazy that I was still annoyed about too many people.

I feel ya. We survived Disneyland today as a group of 13, 5 of which were girls ranging from 2 to 10. I thought it was crowded at 8:30am. Then, by noon, suddenly every line seemed to double in size. Absolute mayhem. Naturally, it was awesome, but I hope I never have to do it again.

Also, mickey balloons are apparently $25.00 a pop (heh), so buy the $27.00 bubble-wand-thing and enjoy it for a few hours more.

Much appreciated E.

Happy to be there for you, Josh.

Try melatonin, but find the 300mcg dose (300 micrograms, NOT the common milligram doses).

Series of sleep studies conducted at MIT in the early 2000s (you might still be able to find the studies/papers by searching "MIT melatonin"). The study was originally conducted on seniors (who have more issues staying asleep long enough for the body's proper rest and recovery).

In a nutshell, they found that taking a 300mcg dose of melatonin at the same time each day (night) about 30-60 minutes before bedtime, helped establish and regulate the circadian rhythm, allowing them to get 7-8 hours of sleep, vs waking up after 4-5 hours and not being able to go back to sleep.

The 300mcg dose also had no adverse effects on the body's own melatonin production, and in fact, helped regulate/program the body's melatonin production by training it to begin production at that particular time.

They found that higher doses interfered with natural melatonin production, and taking higher doses was counterproductive. Most of the available OTC melatonin supplements are WAY more than 300mcg (eg. The common 3mg dose is 10x).

Try the melatonin. The other thing you might have read about, is avoiding stimulus, and blue light 1-2 hours before bedtime. The brain interprets blue wavelengths as daytime, which also interferes with melatonin production and the circadian rhythm. Most phones nowadays, have a blue light filter. I just leave those on 24/7, lol.

Yep, I'm seeing 5, 10 and even 12mg tabs sold now. My neighbor for a while is a doctor who had switching day/night shifts. To occasionally completely change her sleep pattern, she would take 5mg plus a Benadryl. (just once every two weeks or so)

Warm milk is a mild sedative. Meditation is difficult for since people, but I find that it helps.
