re: Does everyone here take melatonin to sleep?

Try valerian root at bedtime, takes about 30 minutes to get really sleepy.
Supplement it with a small dose of magnesium every 3rd day.
Was on Ambien for 12 years, had to stop, so researched sleep aids, and this is hands down the answer.
It smells kind of bad, but no real taste. If you want to sleep, at least give it a try.
