About a month ago - just in passing - my doctor gave me a bottle of 1mg Melatonin chewable tabs. For my whole life, I've had periods of sleeplessness and them periods when I sleep very well.
When I went to see him, it was for my routine annual physical and I have no idea why he just gave me these -- other than the fact that it's probably the only free drug he's ever gotten because he won't take "the good stuff" from drug reps!
Okay. I took two (so that's 2mg) of the chewables (same manufacturer as these) which worked fairly well. When I did wake up at 4 AM, I just let another melt under my tongue, and I drifted off. I woke up as though I had had a decent night's sleep, but I certainly was not a model for a TV ad where I had awakened REFRESHED and ready for a triathalon. I felt okay and not at all lethargic.
When I saw that Amazon carried the same manufacturer's Melatonin in a 2 MG TIME-RELEASE, I knew that these would be perfect. If the "chewables" worked, then time-release would be better because there would be a steady stream of Melatonin released over an 8 hour period. My logic was so good that I got two. That's 480 nights if I disregarded the warnings about continuous use.
Unfortunately, the first night, they didn't work at all. I was up all night. The second night, I did fall asleep, but when I awoke, I was ... not groggy ... but not full of energy either.
I stopped for two nights, and tried again, and this time I awoke are 3 AM, and just got up and read.
I'd give the chewables 4 stars, but with several caveats. Melatonin is a hormone that helps with adjustments to circadian rhythms. If your rhythms are in synch with nature, don't fix what ain't broken. If you have a periodic sleepless night, take the chewables (peppermint's good) if you think that you're going to be restless. If you take these time-released pills, you're assuming that you are going to have a sleepless night, and this may become a self-fulfilling prophecy.
So I'm back to the chewables a couple of times every two weeks - sometimes even when I'm exhausted from hiking or raking a continuous supply of leaves, Mother Nature's own time-released pain in the neck. The time-released just haven't released or, as I said and as silly as you may think, you may be up just waiting for them to kick in because you know that you should drift off. The only place I drift to at 2 AM is the fridge.

Our dog (5-year-old beagle) has what's called seasonal flank alopecia, which causes hair loss on both sides of the body. It's not a serious problem, but it does look pretty bad. We gave her these pills (one a day) for a few weeks once we figured out the problem, and her hair came back fairly quickly. Probably not the intended use, but it worked!

I used to take Ambien. Nasty stuff. Sure it makes you sleep, but then you start feeling edgy and anxious during the day, and you don't know why. Melatonin works and it doesn't have the side effects of prescription sleep meds like Ambien. When your hormones start to crash when perimenopause and menopause hit, insomnia is one of the unfortunate results. Melatonin, and a sleep schedule, and avoiding red wine at night... (sigh...) help me get my 7 hours. The timed release tablets work for me. I have been taking two 2-mg tablets every night for several months now and wish I had tried it earlier. Source Naturals seems like a reliable brand.
