    That’s what the “don’t take when operating heavy machinery” labels on medications are referring to for most people, I’m not sure how many people actually realize that though, and that’s a scary thought.

      Most people are like “oh that’s fine it’s not like I’m a pilot or a nuclear engineer.” And then proceed to drive their car at 120 km/h on the highway.

      Come to think of it, why not just make it crystal clear and say “don’t drive when taking this medicine” on the label?

        That’s what my melatonin pills say.

        “Do not drive or use machinery for 5 hours after taking melatonin.”

        Although I follow the directions I swear the supplements are 95% placebo.
