Stopped taking melatonin and my sleep quality got better???

So for the last 1-2 years I’ve been taking melatonin and magnesium before I go to bed. I haven’t been consistently taking melatonin, but I have been taking it 3-5 days a week on average.

At the beginning of the month I ran out of melatonin and keep forgetting to buy more at the grocery store. I’ve noticed that since I stopped taking it, my sleep quality has vastly improved. I wake up with more energy and I stay in REM longer. I track my sleep with my Fitbit and show that this month has been the best month of REM sleep I’ve had in the last year.

I’m still taking magnesium at night. Why do you think this is? The only other variable I’ve changed is that I’m making sure to turn my house down to 63-68 degrees at night. Before I was keeping it at 68-70 but I started turning it down lower in June.

I don’t wanna go back and buy more melatonin if it continues to work for me. Is this just all in my head or is there an explanation to this?

What was Hector Salamanca doing before Tuco went to jail?

How the Salamancas operated always intrigued me. We know Lalo and the cousins were living in Mexico. Lalo had his whole compound and was obviously doing well for himself.

Tuco was running New Mexico. When Tuco goes to jail Hector kinda shows up out of nowhere. Was he retired? Or was he doing bussiness somewhere else? Everytime some lower level guy is in the same room as him (Kraft 8 or nachos friend) they all refer to him as “Don Hector”. So they obviously have seen him around before.

I wonder what he was doing while Tuco was running everything. When he shows up Nacho already knows him and seems annoyed that Tuco is gone but now he has to deal with Hector who might be even worse than Tuco in some ways.

In reality the writers probably didn’t have anything for him in season 1 and then when Tuco leaves the show they probably thought about bringing the actor back. What do you think the in universe answer is?

First Couple DJ gigs booked. No clue wtf I’m doing. I need Help.

Ok so my wife and I are professional bedroom DJ’s. Back in college, I DJ ‘d some of our parties at my fraternity ,then I taught my wife how to DJ a few years ago. She was trained as a classical pianist she’s much better than me and picked it up super fast.

We’ve been asked by multiple of our friends to DJ at bars and clubs by us.

She was super scared to do it and then I pressured her to play.

Instead of just booking 1 gig, we booked 3 all at once.

First gig is in a bar that’s a axe throwing place/arcade/bar and I don’t think anyone is really gonna be there and if they are they’re not gonna be there for us so I’m not worried.

2nd gig is at a local bar that we go to all the time. It’s a rooftop bar with chill vibes so I’m not too worried because we go there all the time and we know what to play and it’s a fun place.

3rd gig is at a club by us that we go to also, but they play mostly hip hop/ top 40 hits.

1st 2 gigs you bring your own deck and I’m not worried about setting up. We will bring our deck and set up to their speakers. We have a numark mixtrack platinum and have all our songs on serato so I think we’re good for those.

The 3rd one has professional CDJs and we’ve only played on them once at my friends place.

Most of our music is on SoundCloud but I had some songs on a flash drive. I have one friend who dj’s professionally and told me I can use his flash drive for the 3rd gig and he claims he has thousands of songs on it but I’m worried his songs aren’t right for the vibe of this place. He plays edm/tech house.

Let me know what we need to do to prepare for each of these gigs. We both work full time jobs and make good money so I’m not trying to make this my new profession but I want it to be our side huddle that we do on weekends.

If I fuck up any of these it’s not the end of the world because I told each of these bar/ club owners we’ve never done this professionally.
