Melatonin

[anthrax]

When and how much do you take it ?

I have tried 3mg, 1.5 and 1 mg pill and I have noticed that the less I take the more effective

and about 30 minutes before sleep time

21mg's per night before bed. Since I usually stop off at elite before going to bed, I just wait until it kicks in, then fall asleep. Usually, i'll feel it about a 1/2 hour later.

21 mg

euhhhh, the recommended dose is 3mg

less than 21mg does not help you fall asleep ?

I usually take 9mgs. Any less is not enough, but any more doesn't help anything.

I think melatonin is a great supp for a sleep aid. Works better than any OTC pill I've ever tried. The problem with it is that you can't take it with any real consistency or it will stop working. If I take it for even three or four days in a row, it becomes completely ineffective. But for the occassional use when you can't get to sleep, it works like a champ, with no "hangover" effects either.
