I've done everything I could, including this and more drastic measures. Unfortunately, it's just not the 'super sleep secret' people keep promising it to be.
After years of terrible sleep, I gave in and started using melatonin daily. Every part of my life has improved.
- Arisaka1 5y agoDid you find yourself upping the dose after a week or 2? I tried melatonin for a while (dissolvable in the mouth) but once I reached 3mg without falling asleep I just decided that I'm not gonna become dependent on it and stopped cold turkey.
- WalterSear 5y agoI did not. I have been taking 3mg for months now, though I recently started to suspect it's too much, and dropped down to 1.5mg. If you are taking it at bedtime, rather than a couple of hours before, that can cause it to fail to be effective. I haven't seen anything to suggest dependency is an issue, and, if I miss a dose (forget to take it until too late), I have reverted to my old sleeping pattern, rather than anything worse. No increased onset insomnia or anything like that.
