What happens when you get in bed ? What sensations does your brain pay attention to ?

Do you listen to music as you go to bed ? It can occupy the audio part of your brain.
Thanks Mark for getting back to me, I had read some about the 5-HTP. What do you think about tryptophan? Also, I am not sure if any of these would interact with the 20 mg of Celexa I'm on.

I listen to music usually, and that helps. Otherwise, I always have a fan on for white noise to cancel out any noise one of my roommates might make.

I mainly get fatigued, but not sleepy. I don't think it helps that my symptoms are minimal at night and I get a lot of energy if I don't force myself to settle down.
