Most men are able to compartmentalize better than most women. It is considered a "male trait" to delineate, or to separate things into catagories,a "female" trait to synthesize, or to see the over-all picture and put things together. I think we, as females, have a harder time putting our thoughts about things into little rooms in our minds and keeping the door closed.
Also, don't take meletonin if you take an antidepressant.
