hi Captain,
it def. helped me to take Lex at night, before sleep (after sex!) It helped me fall asleep b/c for me it had a somewhat sedating effect. Like you I started taking it in the am, but found it more effective in the pm.Hope you're doing well!
how's life?
anything new?JenStar

In the past few weeks I have had a harder time than normal falling asleep, I usually fall asleep as soon as my head hits the pillow. I also used to be able to go to bed at 9pm and now it is closer to 10:30 or 10:45.
