Any of you brahs on that melatonin time?

Not really looking for something to get me to the point of falling asleep, but more so staying asleep throughout the night. I seem to always wake up like two or so hours before my alarm goes off. Would melatonin supplement help?

will i t make you sleep longer? no, but it could improve the sleep quality you do get so that you feel more rested.

It doesn't help me. I've tried about every natural sleep aid and 3-4 RX meds and none of them keep me asleep all night. Worth a try though, it seems to work for some people.

I do all these things to ensure a good sleep:

-dont eat 2-3+ hours near bed time
-read 30mins before sleep
-3mg melatonin + 25 mg zinc before sleeping

very simple and easy to do and I am not exaggerating, my sleep is literally 10/10 every night

some melatonin supps work really good and some don't work at all. i'm not sure why. supplementing melatonin will suppress your own natural melatonin production though. it's really not good to take for a long time.

probably because there have been studies done checking the dosages in melatonin supplements and some were 100x the dose the label claimed. Most were highly overdosed.

I use a 10mg time release capsule that works good.

This is pretty interesting, as I've been reading that even the dosage that the common brands use is can be way too much (ie 3-5mg).
