This Was Highly Recommended....and I Don't Know Why
Sick and tired of getting only 2 to 3 hours of sleep per night and having to face 10 - 12 hour work days, several people recommended melatonin for sleep. They swear by it (though they've never actually used it). I broke down and bought a bottle and here I am at 6 a.m., STILL awake and have to be up and getting ready for work at 11 a.m. It did make me sleepy in a short period of time, and I did fall asleep much earlier than usual, which is what I wanted, but I didn't stay asleep (which is the same problem with OTC sleep aids). I slept for 45 mnutes and have now been awake ever since. I awoke with aching, cramping feet and ankles, and my feet feel like they weigh twice as much as they usually do. This hasn't happened since I was pregnant 21 years ago. They ache so bad, I have to keep rubbing them and going back to sleep looks impossible. I would not recommend melatonin for help in sleeping. I feel more miserable than when I take nothing.

maybe 3 mg is too much for some persons
Mayb 3mg, is too much for me.. I didn't sleep very well with the 3 mg pill, the divided into 4 pieces, and is ok.

Melatonin and 5-HTP and ought to be talked about together
Melatonin

Melatonin and 5-HTP and ought to be talked about together. First, let me say that I am not a medical doctor and I don't play one on TV. I have read a great deal about this subject, however.

5-HTP is a precursor to seratonin and can transfer across the blood brain barrier easily. Melatonin is a downstream product of Seratonin, i.e it is made from Seratonin. So, if you take 5-HTP and Melatonin together, it's like filling up a bucket by pouring water into it and patching a leak in it at the same time.

You'll sleep better and if you are mildly depressed it will help. If you are more than mildly depressed you might want to go to a medical doctor and have your thyroid checked out for hypothyroidism.

It takes about a week for 5-HTP to build up in your body,if you aren't better after 5 to 7 days you might want to increase the dosage.

It is better to take melatonin sublingually,put it under your tongue and let it melt.
