re: Who uses Melatonin?

I had terrible sleep problems for years. Started taking melatonin in mid-'97. I take 3 mg or less nightly about 45 mins before I want to go to sleep.

It feels like the sandman comes like when I was a kid. I usually read until I get drowsy then put down whatever I'm reading and go right to sleep.

I get up once to piss during the night (usually) and go right back to sleep. I sleep 6-7 hours usually. When I wake up it's like it was when I was a kid. I am drowsy for a few minutes and by the time my feet hit the floor I am fully functional.

I found out very quickly that if I took more than 3 mg that it worked quite the opposite. One mg works just as well as 3 mg.

The dreams are pretty awesome too. I hardly ever remembered my dreams before I started taking it.
