Caffeine question

Start off with 1mg 1/2 hr before you want to BE asleep. It will gently shut your brain down and you'll drift off. Some people need higher doses, some (like me), need the smallest dose, which is .5mg chewables from Trader Joes. Yes, melatonin really does work. Try it!

Awww - wished it worked for me. I need to up my dose and see if it works.

M, some people need significantly higher amounts (up to 10mg). A friend was just telling me that he needs 7mg.

Melatonin rocks!

I'm one of the 10 mg people. Lower dosages drift me off to sleep but I wake up a few hours later if I don't take enough. Boo to insomnia.

Melatonin gives me WICKED nightmares. The kind where you feel like you're awake and scary things are happening. I'd be asleep in my bed and I'd be dreaming that I woke up in my bed to a large shadowy figure standing over me, or that giant anger dogs were loose in my tiny apartment.

I'm okay with a 3mg dose, but found when I took two of those, HOLY MONKEY. The nightmares are realistic and insane. *shudder* I second the magnesium suggestion, as well as get a pair of blue-blocker glasses if you're going to be playing with electronics. I sympathize!!!
