I will eat a couple melatonin gummies and then read until I get sleepy enough to turn out the lights.
I would caution doing this too much. Melatonin is great for short term sleep issues. But too much melatonin can turn into insomnia. It's happened to me several times, where I take melatonin too many nights in a row (I'm talking weeks, or even months), and I end up having difficulty sleeping for almost a week when I try not taking melatonin anymore.
I understand this is your experience but I've yet to see this confirmed by any well crafted studies.
That could be the case. I don't know if any long term melatonin use studies have been conducted. But they do caution against using it long term given the safety of it hasn't been well studied.
Good point!
