So I have been looking at Melatonin that is suppose to help people with insomnia or just resetting your sleep pattern. 

 

Most Melatonin is sold in a 3,5,10Mg capsule and turns out it's bad, well I mean you are not suppose to take it everyday, it's only for if you have trouble sleeping or resetting your sleep pattern. 

 

Melatonin is a hormone and if you take too much of it continuously ( I mean 3mg is way too much already) you're telling your body to stop producing its own Melatonin and you will be dependant on it. 

 

Microdosing is the best way, it means consuming at a very low dose to trigger your brain to produce more Melatonin instead of receiving it. In this case .3mg or 3mcg to 5mcg.

 

Or take some precursor such as l tryptophan which will get converted to both serotonin and Melatonin. 

 

That is according to my 4 hours research last night when I can't sleep because I drank some coffee in which I regret. 

 

Your comments are welcome.

    I used to take it daily, and it did help for a bit, but the effect wore off. Stopping it didn't really disable my ability to sleep though. I think my brain just started making its own again.

     

    What's weird is that I have a room with cold white LEDs and I don't use night mode on my phone, and I often fall asleep with the lights on while watching youtube, yet turning the lights off and shutting down the phone doesn't get me to sleep any faster, usually takes longer for me to fall asleep.

     

    I'm really nocturnal though, which makes it really frustrating

     

    I can be out in 5 minutes if its daytime, but it takes several hours at night

    For how long? And how much is the dose?

    I honestly can't remember the dosage I was taking, but I was on it for a few years. I'd give it a shot, its a fairly natural drug, all things considered.

     

    I guess just look up the recommended dosage for someone of your size and age.

    Hiya!

    Did you follow prescription? 

     

    Also what product did you use?

    I stopped taking it daily because I never felt the need for it after a while. I take it every now and then, normally if I just cannot sleep (for whatever reason, normally because I get very hot) and I usually either take 3, 6 or 10mg.

    Hiya!

    You get very hot? Lol /s

     

    I haven't try them, I usually take l theanine or ashwaganda, it doesn't make you sleepy but it promote relaxation but at night especially at bedtime, it help. For me at least. And it doesn't just help me sleep but It makes me feel energized in the morning when I wake up (l theanine)

    I produce a shit ton of body heat. It's very useful in the winter but not when it gets above 65F or so.
