Melatonin can help restore muscle fibers back to normal, including helping them retain calcium—undoing the damage obesity and Type 2 diabetes otherwise does to them.

so it is a choice between being strong but asleep all the time
or
being a weakling but awake to take the abuse?

I gotta think this one over a bit...

Take it before sleeping and be done with it.

I’ve used Melatonin for years. It doesn’t make you ‘sleep all the time’, or make you groggy in the morning. It just helps you to fall asleep.
(Can give you very interesting dreams, too.)

Interesting dreams? I’ve found the opposite. I used to dream coherent stories that I wish I could have written down. Since I began taking melatonin to help me fall asleep two years ago, I’ve almost entirely stopped dreaming.

It makes me groggy. I take about .3mg every now and then and although I sleep better, I usually have brain fog and lower energy for 4 or 5 hours after awakening.
My wife takes 5mg with no issues.

I should have added that pistachios are one of the highest natural sources of melatonin. Lately I’ve been eating 10g which helps sleeping without morning issues.

This is racist. Blacks are born with melatonin right on their body. I have to go buy the stuff and then it may not work. I have the worst luck.

I take 10mg of Melatonin along with 5,000 iu of D3 and 50 mg of K2 every night right before bed.

I’ve used Melatonin for yearsI've tried it in various doses and it does nothing for me

There is remarkable difference in sensitivity to melatonin. To find a tolerable dose (one that induced sleep but didn’t make me feel groggy/depressed/dizzy the next day) I kept reducing my intake to where I finally got to .25 mg (sublingual). That seemed like an absurdly small amount until I read that a young, healthy person produces 10-80 (micro)grams per night internally.

I guess people are different in their reactions to it.

That’s odd. A lot of people complain that it makes their dreams TOO vivid. I’ve always dreamed and remembered my dreams; melatonin just enhances that. Maybe you should try a lower does?

D3 and K2 should be taken with, or after, a meal containing fat. They are fat soluble, and you need to have fat in your gut to assimilate them properly. Don’t wait too long after your meal to take them.

Maybe melanin?

Sometimes before bed I take 1/4 of a 10mg tablet, but not as often as I used to. I connected them to UTIs so cut way back.
