Melatonin does absolutely fucking nothing
I took 5mg, took me an hour to fall asleep and 1 woke up once after 2 hours and then now after 3 hours
>>
it makes you produce estrogen or that's what ai told me, kinda doubt that because i am not feminine looking or acting. if anything i am hyper-masculine, and not in the 'overcompensating' way or however freudians like to frame it, emotionally immature as fuck thou, which i thought was obvious but maybe it isn't.

don't like positive attention either, or attention at all really. Don't feel like I deserve it, until I act out like a man child but even then I don't really want attention I just want to make the pain go away.
>>
>>25142366
Ok I'll try whatever
>>
>>25142269
Just you wait dog.
It takes like 16 hours before it hits.
>>
melatonins not supposed to make you fall asleep, its supposed to adjust your circadian rythm to gradually change your sleep schedule and allow you to fall asleep at earlier times. you have to use it for everyday for it to work.
>>
>>25142958
I wanted something which would help me get unitterupted sleep without me waking up every hour and i got recommended melatonin and every medical site was like noooo only take 2 or 2.5 mg or you'll be sleeping for soooo long, but I still took 5mg and it didn't do shit
What sm i supposed to take, what do I do
>>
>>25143005
The over-the-counter stuff is all bullshit and does nothing. Anyone who's never really suffered from insomnia has no fucking idea how bad it gets. You're gonna need some prescription meds, if it continues and have to deal with the side-effects.
>>
>>25143111
I don't have insomia tho
My sleep just keeps alternating between a week of 14 to 15 hour sleeps and then a week of 4 or 5 hours with waking up every hour
>>
I need to force a normal sleep schedule and then I think it'll be fixed and i thought melatonin would do it
>>
I'm gonna give this bullshit another try tonight should I take an even higher dose

Skip to the 10:10 mark. He suggests a protocol for a better nights sleep. Ive only done the kiwis and magnesium, havent tried the cottage cheese or tart cherry juice.
Cant really tell if the kiwis worked, all i can say is it didnt make it worse, but i know for sure the magnesium does work for me. Its gotta be the bisglycinate form tho, i tried citrate and oxide form before and all it did was give me the shits

>>25145668
Once I'm done with these 10 gummies I bought and it does nothing I'll move to the new methods u said, i love you

>>
This shit does absolutely fucking nothing
How is 5mg not having any effect on me wow, 2nd time waking up and it's only been 2 hours
>>
Im going to kill myself
>>
>>25143111
Haha you know. Insomniac to drug addict is so convenient.

This'll sound nuts, but use a tape recorder or whatever and leave it recording, all night. There COULD be something that's randomly operating and waking you up, like - I don't know - maybe a fucking smoke detector that decides to beep twice, around 1am, EVERY NIGHT and wakes you up, but never does it during the day.

someone is grumpy cuz they cant sleep or walk up a flight of stairs without getting winded which correlates to each other
>>
>>25144909
you should really be talking to a doctor

melatonin needs to be dosed by body weight and 5mg is too much for most people

the 10+ they sell over the counters are really bad for you
>>
>>25149133
Ok i might
>>25149116
U sleeping next to me would probably cure this ears
>>
>>25149180
btw they are reevaluating if it's even safe to take melatonin long term, it's been linked to heart failure if taken too often

ever since i stopped taking my sleep is bad but my blood pressure is a lot better overall
>>
>>25149184
It's not doing shit for me but I've got 8 more gummies left
>>
>>25149190
you don't understand what it does

the fact that you're scrolling makes it clear

take it and go to sleep or something

it's not a knockout pill if that's what you want you need benzos but they're hard to get

Your body only needs a tiny amount for sleep, like 0.1mg or something. The rest just wasted.
Also melatonin is processed by the body extremely rapidly. It'll make you sleepy for like 5-10 minutes and if you don't fall asleep during that time then it does nothing because your body got rid of it.

Try slow release melatonin instead. It'll make you sleepy for longer. Slow release is specifically made for people who wake up a lot.
>>
>>25150094
i was actually prescribed the exact opposite - quick dissolve tablets, because it took way too many hours after taking the melatonin for me to fall asleep

it worked well for me for like 10 years but then i just built up too much tolerance, and ever since i stopped taking it, i don't have hypertension as bad as i used to (lost like 20 points in blood pressure)
>>
I hate my life
>>
>>25149779
shh, sleepin
>>
>>25142269
It doesn't do much. Basically it just sends a signal to your brain that it's dark and time to go to bed.

I used to take it every night and my sleep was so-so. I forgot to take it one night and ended up getting the best sleep I had gotten in a while. I decided to stop taking it at that point and my sleep actually improved. I haven't taken it since.
>>
Tonight I'll just stay awake till the sleep naturally hits me
>>
Im in bed and no I'll keep my phone away
>>
>>25149799
No, it's just that people who have those conditions due to poor sleep are more prone to need meds to sleep. You're dumb.
>>25152524
>I'll keep my phone away
I bet you kept using it after that post.
