Have you ever taken this natural sleep aid? I just took one about twenty minutes ago as I have to be up at 12:45am tonight and I am just wondering what your experiences have been. Im setting like 3 alarm clocks just to make sure I get up.
If youve ever taken it - does it make you groggy? How long does it let you sleep for?
Thanks in advance :-)

I never had melatonin before. Luckily, I don't have any sleeping problems.

I don't take it myself but my dad takes it and it works for him. Hope you get good results with taking it.

I take it on occassion-it does help a little. One thing to be careful of is that it can supress REM sleep, which can lead to REM overload...which can lead to really bad nightmares. I prefer it to sleeping pills though, as it's a natural suppliment. Sometimes when people take it they have a difficult time getting out of bed the next morning because depending on how much one takes, it can be a bit potent...but that feeling of deep relaxation isn't a bad thing.

My son is 4 and takes Melatonin since he is ADHD and don't have a sleep schedule. We try over and over so the dr recommended it to him
