I bought a bottle of Vitamin Shoppe brand melatonin 1mg dose. I find that 1mg is all I need to help rev up the engine of my sleepy time train. The first night I took it I was already tired from running around with my fiance. He took 3mg and it was LIGHTS OUT for him. I also took my dog for a long nighttime walk. Sophie is a big hindrance to my goal of a good night's sleep.
What's melatonin?

| I notice that my body has gotten used to waking up at around two to let my dog out. That interferes with the effectiveness of melatonin. I find my body trying to play catch up during the morning till I take my usual noontime nap. I wonder if increasing the dosage will have me sleep through the whole night. Last night I closed my door and locked Sophie out :( I still woke up at two but I'll give it two weeks to reset itself before I think about upping the dosage. The 1mg is effective enough.
