Sleeping is an art. Focus on developing the habit of ease of turning off one's mind. Ease into it with a decompression period... All awesome stuff, so glad you wrote this, this city is filled with 'sleep-challenged' who could benefit from this :) Brilliant man!

Sleeping is an art.
Focus on developing the habit of ease of turning off one’s mind.
Ease into it with a decompression period…

All awesome stuff, so glad you wrote this, this city is filled with ‘sleep-challenged’ who could benefit from this :)

I love that I just learned about FOUR relaxation drinks from one post. Neel, Nancy, kudos. Oh, and for relaxing drinks I personally prefer the oh-so-natural and rarely refined/altered... TEA. :) lol! awesome. I love that I just learned about FOUR relaxation drinks from one post. Neel, Nancy, kudos.

Lots of natural light, great angles that make for some nice off balance climbs. My only two real complaints are A) that the texture of the walls (apart from the main arch) is brutal, you'll lose skin if you peel, and it'll rip apart any fabric that touches it... and B) that the routes are just too damn short. it's fine for just casually climbing, but if you're actually training for any sort of outdoor routes, you're going to have to run laps.

It really should be the responsibility of the person drinking to use their own judgement and determine whether they should use a particular product or not. Personally, I've tried taking 6mg metatonin capsules for sleep with little to no effect (i've tried different brands as well). I feel i should also point out that all three of the alternate products you recommended are also packages in an energy-shot style bottle, and Tranquila PM does have melatonin in it, but they don't specify what quantity, which in my opinion is even more irresponsible. Anyhow, I'm not trying to defend a particular product, especially not one that I have never personally used. I do appreciate your comments and recommendations. I posted this originally because I've dealt with periods of insomnia that were quite crippling, and sometimes you just need a good night's sleep - hopefully these products can do just that without having to resort to prescription grade products.

They are destroying the category and character of the Relaxation category. Their product has 5 mg of melatonin and it is packed in an energy shot bottle.
