Anybody here know anything about sleeping pills or have any recommendations on what products to use? And should I ask my neighbor to stop being loud?

[WhiteBoyChill]

I’m in college and I got this neighbor in the room next to me who is just really loud. I’m trying to sleep and this man is just screaming at his tv playing video games until 3 in the morning.

I’m not asking for much. The guy can play his games anytime between 8am and midnight and I won’t mind.

I don’t know if I should just knock on the guy’s door and ask him to quiet down.

It could just be that I establish tense relations with my neighbor that way.

The other option is to just report to my RA but then I’ll seem like a little b*tch. And neither do I really want to have to wake him up either.

I could send my RA an email and ask if he can reach out to the guy and tell him to keep his noise level down at night.

But either way people are trying to sleep and the guy should learn to be respectful. I’d have no issue if he was playing his games during the day, but for the people that can’t sleep in like him and have to wake up early for classes the next day, its very rude, disrespectful and inconsiderate.

It’s my first week of college and I’ve been barely assigned any work. But I already feel like an absolutely exhausted train wreck at this point.

I know the simplest solution is to just get earplugs, and that might work, but beyond that in a sense I don’t want to have to let this guy get away with bad behavior, because its not fair to the rest of us, especially when he’s breaking the rules that we’re all suppossed to follow.

Beyond that I figure some sleeping pills might help. I know some sleeping pills have adverse side effects though.

So I’m wondering which ones are safe to take. I’ve seen some that sell for under $20 and are melatonin based.

Do they work, and are they safe to use?

From what I gather there’s nothing wrong with melatonin based products and its the other ones to be wary of.

Take a fuck ton of magnesium, better get bags of it from a manufacturer. Hard to overdose and it's for much more than just improving sleep.

The rest have to be taken strategically. Ones like GABA and theanine are great until you build tolerance and it does absolutely nothing (need to take breaks when that happens). I have no experience with melatonin, but if you take it, do some research and make sure to choose your own dosages, as pill makers stuff way too much of it into a dose. Another really effective is reishi mushroom but it can also lower your androgens, it inhibits 5AR just like some anti hair loss drugs. See how you respond to it.

Of course I assume you already take care of all the blue light, you ground yourself and protect from EMFs (doable without wasting money on shit) ...

And also I used to wear double hearing protection, the foam plugs into the ears, and then the protective headset on top of that... and instead of a musical alarm, I just had a half kilowatt LED lamp turn on through the outlet timer...

[WhiteBoyChill]

Can you send me some site links to the products you use? I’d like to buy them

[PraviteliNahuiValite]

I wrote something but it might be much less complicated if you're in US. I saw that there is a company "bulksupplements" that seems worth looking into. I'm in Canada so I did something different.

[WhiteBoyChill]

Oh. I just meant like there’s so many different products on the market sometimes I don't know which one to get

[PraviteliNahuiValite]

There's lots of shit, useless to harmful.

Gaba and theanine are safe, and as I see bulk supplements is popular in US which I never bought from.

I will link some things that I mentioned if you want, but consider also hearing protection, like the double layer those that get plugged in and those over top of the ear, and then have a lamp on an outlet timer to wake up...
And grounding yourself electrically to lower the damage of EMFs.

[PraviteliNahuiValite]

I'd take 5 grams of magnesium glycinate
www.bulksupplements.com/.../magnesium-glycinate-powder

Half a gram of theanine
https://www.bulksupplements.com/products/ltheanine

And anywhere around 2 grams of GABA
www.bulksupplements.com/.../gamma-aminobutyric-acid-gaba

So in around those proportionate quantities I would buy..

These are effective, extremely safe (even if you take 3x the dose, you'll have like no side effects, but no more benefit rhan normal dose either)
And over time they don't develop problems.. maybe avoid gaba and theanine when you don't need to sleep deep, but magnesium is A MUST every day anyway.

Even as I was grabbing the links, there they recommended frequently bought together products: 5htp and ashwagandha.. they are both usable, but really need a thorough understanding of their mechanisms in order to avoid side effects, maybe not as severe but they almost act as SSRI and we want to be safe... in addition raising serotonin will lower testosterone long term... so you just stay away from a lot of the products no matter how popular they are.. that is, even if they have what's labeled on tha package in the first place...

This is all great advice! Thanks for the help

Bang on this guys door and tell him to STFU.

I don't know what your dorm is like but you might be able to figure out which circuit breaker shuts off the power in this room. You wait until he is blasting the music and shut the brakers off until the music stops , then go to sleep. I lived in a big apartment building and used to do that sometimes.

Thanks for the MHO😎

melatonin sleep gummies help me and my fam out a lot. and yea lol i would tell my neighbor to be quiet

[WhiteBoyChill]

They don’t give you any adverse negative effects do they? And can you send a pic or site link of the product you use?

[alcorriher]

sure yea! and no they dont. only make you feel sleepy.

@WhiteBoyChili Invest in a good pair of ear plugs instead of putting addictive drugs into your body.

[WhiteBoyChill]

Melatonin is addictive?

[PraviteliNahuiValite]

It is capable ofowering your endogenous production. If you do decide to take, make sure the dose is tiny.

[WhiteBoyChill]

@PraviteliNahuiValite what is endogenous production?

[PraviteliNahuiValite]

If you take large doses of certain chemicals that your body naturally produces, you will produce less or them naturally.. another example is taking anabolic steroids making testes shrink.. however small doses of melatonin seem to be safe.

[LiamSawyer]

You may resort to sleeping pills cause Melatonin never worked for me it made it harder to go to sleep and gave me nightmares. Ear plugs are safer and you only buy them once.

[Exterminatore]

Tell him he should be quiet. OCT sleep aids do not work on me so I can’t give a recommendation on any.

You may use calcium supplements to calm your muscles for a good night sleep. A glass of milk will do as well.
