Does melatonin really work for people? I have to take a Lunesta when I get a restless night going. Which is frequent.

I take 3 Valerian Root Extract capsules. Seems to work for me. If I take Melatonin more than 2 nights in a row I start to feel out (not sharp) of it during the day.

Melatonin works for some people, doesn’t work for others.

Lunesta too. Good that Lunesta works for you.

If in doubt, get a bottle of 10 mg time release melatonin. Sams Club and others have it.

It works for a lot of people, with much smaller doses. I never take more than 3 mg and my wife takes no more than 1 mg.

As an added benefit, our bodies use melatonin to repair cell damage.

I have taken one 5htp for some time as requested by my integrative medicine doc. and extend it to two as necessary.

It’s not a sleep medicine exactly but does help with relaxing my body to get into REM sleep so I don’t wake up exhausted.

I used to be worn out at bedtime but couldn’t fall asleep and when I finally did, it was only for three, four hours and wake up exhausted.

Infrequently I take two 10’s of melatonin and sleep wonderfully. It takes a lot if anything to have any effect me.
