I Cant Sleep At Night

I'm going to try melatonin tonight to see if it'll aid in my being able to actually fall asleep. Really hope it works.

It'll likely knock you out. I recommend starting with a small dosage. The label might say 1mg-5mg or more, but you're not supposed to take that much. Only like half a milligram. Then take another dose after 20 minutes if you still can't sleep.

You could take a full mg. Or 5mgs. It won't harm you any. I forget the exact reasoning for it, but it's better if you take less.

You can get somewhat reliant on it to fall asleep, though. So, I wouldn't use it every day, if possible.

@Tatsumi The one that I bought is 10g.... should I not take it?

@originalGOS woooooooah. Yeah, that's a lot. I take .5mg, and it knocks me out. Still safe, but it'll prolly give you a massive hangover or make you sleep for 12 hours. That's way too much. They've done studies of up to like 65mg, if I remember, which didn't have any bad side effects. But it will knock you TF out.

If you can crack them in half like 10 times, you could take a small piece. A dab will do ya. So, take 1/10th of a pill, to start.

Melatonin is also quite delicate. You have to be trying to sleep for it to work. Which is good, because it doesn't give you much of a hangover, because of that. Unless you take a shitload, like 10 mg.

Whoops, I read it wrong. It's actually 10mg. Should be good right? And I'm glad it actually works, can't wait to try it.

@originalGOS Oh. Derp. I remembered wrong, too. I meant mgs, not grams. >.> Had to check my bottle. Yeah, no. 10 mg is still a lot. 10 times what you need. Maybe 20. If you can--it won't hurt anything--just crack the pill open and take a tiny piece. You'll likely feel it in 20-40 minutes, depending on if it's fast dissolve or not.

@Tatsumi Hahaha, well thank you! I'm gonna try a tiny piece of the pill 😁

@originalGOS Np. ^^ Yeah, you woulda been conked out for a looong time with 10 mgs. If you need more, just take another tiny piece after 40-50 mins. ^^ Happy dreams.
