I usually take mine between 10 and 11 and I jump out of the bed at 6 every morning. It is a really good antioxident as well.

Melatonin is awesome. I had a terrible time sleeping after my sister in law died a few years ago and it was worse in that I did some shift work - work late most nights and then had to work early once a week. I felt like a train wreck with the tylenol PM stuff and thought 'if they can put a man on the moon...' and so I did some research into non narcotic sleep aids - that's how I found melatonin.

Thankfully, I sleep well these days but once and a while I do take 1 mg when I know I will have trouble falling/staying asleep. Even if I don't get 8 hours of sleep, I still feel like a normal functioning person in the AM when I get up - unlike the PM stuff.

I've heard that it also helps people with the seasonal disfunction problem.
