Melatonin

[drakeshooter]

So I haven’t been sleeping worth a crap lately, lots of work stuff on my mind, so I was recommended melatonin. I bought some 10 mg gummies and took one each of the past two nights. Both nights I was yawning within 30 minutes and the first morning felt just a bit groggy still and hungry. This morning I felt like I’d drank a pint of whiskey before bed, hungover like crazy and starving. I’m talking ravenous. My azz was dragging all day but finally felt better after hitting the woods awhile looking for morels. I researched it some and it looks like 10 mg is pretty big dose. Anybody got any experience with it? One of my buddies suggested magnesium glycinate supplements.

Doesn't work at all for me. Might as well eat a gummy bear!

I use Melatonin sometimes, 10 mg. Works well and I don’t have the issues you describe. Maybe try a lower dosage. They make 5 mg gummies as well.

I can’t shut down at night. Mind just wanders, particularly if I’m on a juicy project. I take two Advil PM and that does it for me.

I don’t know if it’s your issue, but from my research the amounts and quality vary from brand to brand.

Girlfriend takes them to go to sleep. That works but she still wakes all during the night

Shoot, I take about 40mg most nights. Sleep like a baby and no ill effects.

I woke up a few times but went back to sleep. My 54 year old prostate won’t allow much over 4 hours of straight sleep.

I’d start out with a low dose like 2-6mg first and see how that works.

I take 2 gummy’s 30 minutes before bed and I’m dragging and sleep hard for 2 hours and up off and on rest of night and feel little groggy in the mornings!

5mg works like a charm for me, but then I have really weird dreams the next night....

I've found that not all melatonin is created equally. I have been taking 2 of these Rexall quick dissolve 30 minutes before I want to go to bed for several years. They work like a charm with no hangover in the morning. I feel like crap for an hour in the morning with the regular tablets.
