It’s a less-harmful alcohol substitute. I have multiple friends who’ve gone “California sober” and it has sure looked like nothing but a good change.

It’s by far the best sleep aid I’ve personally found. Practically miraculous. Huge change for the better, I’ve gone several months at a time without it on a couple occasions since starting and holy crap, life used to be terrible. Extremely low-risk, doesn’t leave me hung over feeling like a lot of the legal sleep aids do. Plus, hell, it’s a lot of fun to watch some MST3K while it’s kicking in.

Almost no serious interactions, so you can take it while ill and having to take other drugs, to help (enormously) with sleep or appetite or whatever.

For that matter, having a damn effective pain reliever and sleep aid that you can just keep on hand for when you get the flu or something, and not have to go suffer through a waiting room for a prescription while ill, is a giant QOL boost.
