It's not always easy, but in the end I'm always glad I didn't cheat my body and alter the natural rhythms of life.

But I do understand the human desire to just take a pill and make it go away RIGHT NOW. It seems like an easy solution, until you start doing research on the side-effects.

There are better ways... That's just my opinion. Good luck!

BTW, research "Adrenal Fatigue", "cortisol" and "Vitamin C". It might help.
