I've been using several brands of melatonin - this one doesn't seem to work. I wake frequently during the night with this.

This melatonin puts me to sleep but I wake up about 6 hours later unable to go to sleep. My sleep quality has gotten worse since I took this one. I'm going to try a lower dose.

It is very easy to overdose on melatonin because most preparations contain much more of this hormone than the body needs. As we age, our bodies make less melatonin, especially in the small hours of the night so we wake up convinced it is morning already. However like with every hormone, replacing what is missing is a matter of replacing exactly what is missing, not more. According to many published papers out of MIT, Boston University and other academic institutions, the amount of melatonin that we need is no more than 0.3 mg, not 3 mg. Taking more leaves you with a hangover and eventually the body may even stop making its own melatonin since you are supplying it from a bottle. Since it is almost impossible to get 0.3 mg these days , I always cut the l mg dose in half using a pill cutter . ).5 mg is probably close enough to the dose I need.
