After taking a pill and going to bed later, I couldn't sleep, just tossed and turned all night. What's wrong?

I don't know, everybody's different..when I take it at 9 pm, I go to bed at 11 and usually fall asleep within 30 minutes no problem. I'm the kind of person who struggles badly with sleep too, so I don't know, but maybe try taking 1.5 ??

They recommend you take it about 30 min. before you go to bed. What are you eatting or drinking that could keep you up?

I looked on the back of the package and has no warnings. Its 3 natural ingredinst so I would say no. It does not work like a sleeping pill and drugs you to sleep, it relaxes you and for teh most part you sleep thu the night. I'm fresh in the am, no dragging my feet. If I forget to take it, I don't sleep well. i DO TAKE two mellenonum tables in addition. Like these : Nature Made Melatonin 3mg Tablets, 120 Count

Well, it mentions to take it after your last meal. My last meal in dinner and it's about 3 hours before I go to sleep so I didn't have any trouble with it. Maybe just make sure to have dinner a few hours before you go to bed.

Try taking it with food, adjust your dose until you get used to it. I keep mine in the fridge.

I have been taking melatonin for many years. I have never experienced any side effects whatsoever. I find the gummies work better than the pills and greatly assist in falling asleep and remaining asleep throughput the night. They also do not leave you with a hung over feeling that can be experienced with perscription sleeping pills. I hope this is helpful.

I asked the same question once and think I got the answer that there was quinine in the medication. I do know that one time I had a bad cramp in my foot and I took two pills and almost immediately the cramping stopped. I was amazed.

I have always taken these in the morning and/or lunch; never made me sleepy. I am not sure why this would cause sleepiness; maybe keep a food journal and see if any of your foods are causing you to be sleepy; such as breads and pasta's - also if you consume a lot of sugar and caffeine it will cause you to "crash" in the afternoon. I am not a nutritionist, but try to read up on things to be as healthy as possible :) Good luck!

I take these due to major deficiency of B12, and am not aware of it affecting sleep.

I think that would effect the time release. Go with another non time release melatonin.

Our 5 year old grandson lives with us. Once he goes to sleep, he's out for the night. I'm not sure if it helps him stay asleep or not. One night he got into my daughter's bottle of 5 mg.melatonin - took 6 pills. I almost freaked out until I called poison control. They said it won't hurt a child at all. I won't make them sleep forever like a sleeping pill would. So it sounds like it is pretty safe to use. I'd try it for a few days and see if it helps. Good luck.

It is difficult to answer this question. My wife doesn't use the light for a couple of hours after waking, but she is also taking medication. She is definitely feeling better, but is it the meds or the light?

YES! I was amazed, I started sleeping right through the night, the first week I started taking it! I have just ordered my 2nd bottle and ran out before I realized I didn't have anymore and right away started waking up in the night!!! I think this is a wonderful product and would highly recommend!!!

I've tried different ways. Now I take one in the morning & two at night. I've been taking them for about a year. Once I ran out of them for a few weeks. I was busy & didn't think to order more. Well, after several days I realized I felt AWFUL!!! FINALLY dawned on me that it may have been running out of this that got me so miserable. Ordered some more PRONTO & within a few days I was feeling MUCH better. I will never run out of them again! :)

No, even with a pill cutting machine tool, it is not a good idea to take 1/2 of Melatonin as you won't get a good night's sleep.

Quit taking it when I got terrible cramping in my guts and chest. Felt better as soon as I stopped. Threw them away, to young to die.
