Well, not to jump on a straight line, but...

I get a sleep hangover from it.  I have a terrible time waking up and
functioning.  It does put me to sleep, but almost chronically so!

It seems to inhibit my dreaming as well.   I had a sleepless jag this
winter when the Sandman went elsewhere.  After a week or so, I tried
Melatonin.  I'd do three nights with and 1 night without.  The night
without was filled with very vivid and sometimes disturbing dreams (my dark
interior landscape, don't cha know).

But after about 8 weeks, I managed to bribe the Land of Nod in with warm
milk and then was able to wean off even that.  Now I work myself to bloody
bits out in the garden and at Farmers Markets so the task is to stay awake
on the drive home!

It's always something!
