My sleep doctor advised taking less, and earlier (1.5 mg around 5 or 6 pm).

  This is good advice. Taking melatonin when you go to bed will help you sleep, but taking it a few hours before you want to go to bed helps retrain your circadian cycle (which is the goal, not just going to sleep easily)

    Do you have a source you can cite for this? I'm keenly interested in how this works.

  You have sleep doctors in the US? seriously?

    Yeah. Sleep medicine is a subfield of neurology.
