My little brother is trying to fall asleep and can't, I found my dad's sleeping medicine he bought two days ago from Costco.
It's Super Sleep Melatonin L-Theanine 5-HTP
Is it safe for a 15 year old to take? Or will it make him sick...
I'm tired of people using medication or supplements to solve easily fixable problems.
What you should do is wear that little kid out with exercise so he's pooped by bedtime

It is never too early to hook a kid on drugs.
give him 3 of the pills
the younger, the more resilient. i.e. up the dosage
3 pills

what 's the difference between this and regular melatonin ? cant he just take regular melatonin instead ?
>>17576575
Fucking this. At least do something simple like push-ups/sit-ups. If he's 15 and doesn't work out he should easily sleep after exercise.

>implying you can just force a fifteen year old to do what you deem fit for them
He's already going to school and doing homework, probably also working on private hobbies or playing a sport or something, good luck trying to invade the free time he has left.
I don't know what the difference would be with regular melatonin but melatonin itself is just a hormone that your body naturally produces in the dark. Basically by taking the pills you force your body to react as though you are naturally sleepy because it's late and getting darker. Not something to worry about.

it wont make him sick, most remedy medicines dont work, and he might be dependent on sleep meds.

i know right when i couldnt sleep at that age i opened my geometry textbook and then went to bed
>>17576557
Most melatonin in supplement form is way overdosed. You only need 1-2mg really. Check the label and cut the pill in half accordingly.

It's melatonin. It's no fucking big deal. It's fine for him to take.

I used to play varsity football in high school and work my fucking ass off in 120 degree heat in the desert and still couldn't sleep. So...

It says on the bottle, dumb fuck
>>17576557
