I feel like I'm addicted to sleep. Here's why I think though... I suffered for 13 years with depression and while I know I am still getting over it I don't feel that's the reason I'm addicted. During those 13 years I would have serious bouts of chronic insomnia. The doctors tried to many different sleeping medications, meditation, clinics to help me find a routine for natural sleep without meds etc... nothing worked. Now I live in Thailand and my doctor here recommended melatonin tablets, all natural as your brain is supposed to produce it anyway to tell you when it's dark its time to sleep and when it's like light its time to wake up. She thinks my brain fails to produce certain chemicals as such with serotonin and now figured melatonin. Since I have been taking a melatonin supplement, I sleep so well, I fall asleep within 20 minutes and I sleep for AT LEAST 8 hours. When I wake up I just want to go back to sleep again because it feels amazing. I don't feel like its part of my anxiety or my depression, I just think it's because I had insomnia for so long its addictive! Then I could be wrong...
