Melatonin (20mg)

That's a lot of melatonin for one dose.

Melatonin Dosage: How Much Should You Take

Key Takeaways

Most people take 1 to 5 milligrams of melatonin 30 minutes before bed.

Experts recommend taking no more than 10 milligrams at a time.

Melatonin overdose is on the rise. Consult a doctor before giving melatonin to children.

Yeah, it works for me. That was after trial and error. I used to take it daily when I had really bad sleep issues. Now it's only if I want 100% sure thing to be dead asleep. Probably why I get groggy from it the next day.

Cut that down or you're going to fuck yourself up long term.
