This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Do not fuck with benadryl. Do not even take it for allergies.
Best OTC sleep aid there is. Melatonin is not what everyone thinks it is.
Can you expand on that? I take melatonin every day, have I been poisoning myself?
It’s most useful to take 2-3 hours before bed to reset your circadian rhythm. Essentially it mimics the melatonin you make at sun down to prepare your body for sleep. You only need 1-2 mg to do this.
I even think 1 mg is too much. It's active in microgram doses. Also read the Wikipedia page, it's poorly regulated and pills can contain upwards of 4x what they say.
