I don't think I'll ever take Melatonin again because of the inconsistency and the crazy dreams.

- Arrath 4y agoSame for me. At this point if I truly need to zonk out I'll just pop a benadryl.
- hammyhavoc 3y agoWhat kind of dreams/nightmares? Sat eyeballing some melatonin I got today.
- unmole 3y agoSample size of 1 but I have never had any weird dreams, headaches, sedation or any other I'll effects from melatonin. It does help me fall asleep faster but doesn't actually improve sleep quality or duration. If I'll effects were so common, demand wouldn't be so high. I'd suggest trying it out for yourself.
- salad-tycoon 3y agoVivid disconcerting dreams can happen. For me, it would cause sleep paralysis where my brain would wake up and I could not move my body. I would be wide awake and paralyzed. Then panic as I felt like I could not control my breathing and would imagine that if an emergency happened I would be entirely immobilized. Personally I used these moments as teaching moments and worked through them but it’s hard to explain the sheer terror of waking up, fully alert and fully “locked in.”

- lancesells 3y agoA little hard to explain but not fun dreams and has happened enough times to never do it again. Skip the melatonin and smoke some weed or ingest some mushrooms.
