Nearly every person I talk to at work takes it. I never knew it was that popular but it definitely helps me, wife and kids. 4 beers with a 12 mg melatonin and I'm completely out without feeling drowsy when I wake up.

The more I research synthetic melatonin, the more I think it’s dangerous.

Would hope so.

You got a lot of voices in your head? And you have your kids on it too?

Maybe see a counselor of some sort.

occasionally. But I've read somewhere that if you take it every night your body will stop creating it on its own and you will become dependent on taking it.

You’re better off with a magnesium supplement.

Sometimes. It works to help you go to sleep, but it has a half life of only around 40 minutes so it doesn't help you stay asleep. No side effects and widely studied, but you can build a tolerance.

That's a shite load of melatonin and you probably get no deep sleep.

I take a 10mg every night. I started during medical school to help me sleep.

I take it most nights unless I really work out and run hard then I'm pretty beat from that. Usually I take 5-10 mg.

I took it once on a road trip. I had a dream that I imagine is what tripping on acid is like. Really wild shite. Nope, not for me. No way that shite is good for you

Dude, they make 1 mg ones for kids. Its completely safe, look it up and you will see. Doctor's even recommend it for kids if they need it.

You give something to a child to sleep?
Are you fricking insane?

Obviously your an addict to many things and don't know it.

No child needs help sleeping unless they have lunatic parents

Every now and then.

Side story: I once had a supervisor argue with me in front of the entire team trying to say that melatonin doesn't work and it's all mental.

Yea, a fricking natural hormone that your body produces to put you to sleep is mental. He was a fricking douchebag.

I thought about it, but the more I researched it the more I decided against it.
