I read that an effective sleeping dose is .3 mg so I take a little bite of 3 mg pill. Even with that I feel weird the next day, taking hours to be free from brain fog. It works though. I may take more when dealing with jet lag on international trips.

I know one China virus protocol includes 10mg per day. When I was overcoming I tried a whole 3mg pill and it wiped me out about 36 hours. My wife tried 3 pills of 9 mg total and that was too much for her. She can handle 3mg though. So we do not include melatonin in our protective / recovery supplements.

I’ve never used the patch since I don’t smoke, but these were terrible. It wasn’t me, Adriana Lima and Jessica Alba in bed.
You just wake up sweating, heart pounding, and a sense of terror.

Melatonin is a natural hormone in the brain that decreases with age. Thus, many older people have trouble falling and staying asleep.

Trump had melatonin, 6 mg, because he never slept. His doctor wanted him to sleep to get over covid. Apparently it worked. He was out of the hospital before the week had passed.

I take that much occasionally to sleep. Have a great night’s sleep and zero nightmares. Wake up refreshed and ready to tackle the day.

How big are you? I’m 5’2 and weigh 118. I most assuredly cannot take the same amount of any drug as a larger person. I take many supplements per day and always adjust dosage to my size and weight. 5 mg of melatonin is my max, and usually cut pill in half, which seems to be enough to guarantee a good night’s sleep.

I'm 6'1" and never weigh myself. Maybe 185? I used 3mg nightly for many years, then decided that a little more would help.

Fine to cut a pill, but not a capsule. I have a pill cutter, which makes it very easy.

I read that an effective sleeping dose is .3 mg so I take a little bite of 3 mg pill.


Similarly, I read that .3 is the amount a healthy body produces internally. I take slightly less than .25 mg and it’s effective. Any more than that leaves me groggy - and depressed if it do it for several days in a row.

I am a reluctant to take hormones - there is still so little medicine knows about them.
