Does melatonin do anything for you? It doesn't work for some people but I use it to help me fall asleep and get deeper more restful sleep.
....to be completely honest, it works reasonably well, we have it in the house, and the only reason I’ve never thought to use it nightly or on a regular basis is because my mom keeps warning me about building up a tolerance every time I take it and it feels like my sleep issues aren’t bad enough for me to “deserve” taking a sleep aid on a regular basis. so. yeah. that’s maybe something I should try, thank you?

What urban fantasy novel?
It’s in A Trio of Sorcery by Mercedes Lackey and it’s the first novella (Arcanum 101). The thing is, the story was written in the 70s, but this book was only published in 2010. The author wrote an intro about how technology has changed, but, unless I’m misreading something, doesn’t spare one word to apologise for making the villain a gross caricature of a trans woman and invoking “having x genitals makes you y gender” aggressively. There is a lot of anti-Romani sentiment also, fyi.
