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

I've tried it in various doses and it does nothing for me

I combine it with various types of cheese before going to sleep. Almost as good as the larium induced dreams I had working in the tropics!

Switching to Malarone was not near as exciting.

Good! I’m glad it works for you.

I’m just cautious about taking meds I don’t absolutely need. If I need one I take it. If I can get by okay without it, I skip it.
Just the old curmudgeon in me I guess.

I need to repurchase some Melatonin. I did use it for a while but didn't need it up until now.

I agree, it doesn't make you sleep all the time for sure. In fact it is VERY MILD and natural.
