I've taken melatonin for years. It kind of stopped working though...

No and I don't plan to, I use to take melatonin on occasion when I had a problem with anxiety but I haven't in years. I'm not a pills person.

Yes. I need a prescription to sleep. I am bipolar and manic most of the time and go weeks without more than 2hours a night

Generally no. I have a few times tried Melatonin and some other sleep drug, but forget the name.

I used to but didn't think that I needed it anymore. Lately, I'm thinking that I may have to go back to it.

I have had serious and clinical insomnia for many years that I hid from everyone but my partners. It got to the point that my doctor was worried I was on the verge of collapse. It just took a very small dose of an SSRI in the early morning to correct my sleep patterns and I am VERY happy I finally listened to reason.
I am noticing my body doesn't hurt, the fibromyalgia pains have all but disappeared and I am losing weight slowly and surely. I FEEL so much better as well...or I will as soon as the sinus infection is cleared up LOL
Anyhow sleep is SO very important and I am so happy I have reclaimed mine!

I tried taking Melatonin when I was younger, but I didn't notice much of a difference. Fortunately, I'm sleeping better these days, so I don't even really have to worry much about it.

I don't take anything because I don't have problem getting to sleep. My main issue lately is staying asleep.

Yes I do. I actually just saw something on Facebook today saying they want to cut the doses on Ambien because it is not good.

I fall asleep quite easily, but I do have Melatonin 3mg in my pantry, because my son takes it along with warm milk every night.

No. unless herbal tea counts as a sleep aid. That's the only thing I use to get myself to bed at night.

I have to take Clonopin in order to stop my brain from thinking. It is a ery small dose, though.

I used to take Tylenol PM everynight, finally went to the dr and he put me on Ambien. I started Jan of last year taking 1 pill a night and am now down to half a pill and only Sun - Thur nights, don't take it if I'm not working the next day. I did try to go off it totally and did well for 2 weeks then got really stressed again and went back on it.

I don't take any aids. I have really strong reaction to drugs. The last time I tried one, I was out for almost a full day. =P Lavender tea helps when I really need help falling asleep though.
