Answer: Melatonin dud it is great, Melatonin should be taken two hours or less before bedtime. After you awaken from a melatonin assisted sleep you should feel refreshed not tired or groogy, if you are reduce the dosage. I take 1 pill and son 1/2 pill and husband get 3 pills they are 3mg in a pill ,i buy the soluable kind for the kid, they are also in regular pill form. 90 of them for 6.75 where i am from. Your body make the stuff anyway, as we age we make less.Rozarem is my preference. It just came out, maybe you've seen the commercials with the beaver and Lincoln and stuff? As far as I know it contains a synthetic form of melatonin, which your body produces naturally around bedtime. And it is not habit forming. Of course to get it, you'll have to visit your doctor!
