  3. Raj Dasgupta:

The general rule of thumb is taking the melatonin two hours before your desired bedtime, because if you take it too late, it can throw off your sleep schedule.

    I just think as a general rule women feel like they need to be asked to step up in leadership, whether Tom Price of Georgia . is in the boardroom or in politics, and that's unfortunate, because men tend to wake up one day, look in the mirror and say,' Darn, I'm good. I'm going to run for Congress' or' I'm going to be speaker of the House.' I haven't met many women who think like that, so we need to change that.
