What's the best way to take Melatonin? What's the best dosage? Many patients find melatonin helpful for falling asleep. I do not find melatonin helpful for patients who use it to stay asleep or who wake up multiple times during the night. Many melatonin supplements on the market are sold in 1-3mg pills. However some people experience a side effect of fatigue or grogginess in the morning after taking too high a dosage of melatonin.
It is more natural to take a smaller dose of melatonin such as 0.5mg and to take it it anywhere from sunset to 2-3 hours before bed. This gives the melatonin time to work into the natural circadian rhythm to get the body ready to calm down for bed. It is more supportive of the natural clock rather than giving a large dose right before bed. After using melatonin to train your body clock as well as developing more consistent sleep cycles, it's best to allow the body to go on it's natural cycle rather than taking melatonin for sleep indefinitely.

I swear this stuff works for my sleep. Also for my anxiety. I had to fly from California to Orlando last week. I am absolutely terrified to fly due to experiencing bad turbulence when flying to Phoenix once. This stuff absolutely calmed my nerves. I am new to this stuff but it absolutely works
ARE YOU SERIOUS! I was so scared that it would effect my eggs! But it fines to really effect you at all! THANK YOU SO MUCH!
Thank you for bringing attention and ideas to the issue of sleep. I didn't realize how much our negative self talk about sleep contributes to insomnia. Unconscious fears such as "what happens if I don't wake up in time or wake when I am needed" also contribute. The reprogramming that the "I Can Make You Sleep" book and CD guide you through, helps with these aspects of sleep. The book is very easy to read and would have been a game changer had I known these things in college.
A sleep tip I haven't seen elsewhere is to cup the hands together over the nose and mouth and insert the two index fingers gently into the notch in the socket over the eye. Breath into your hands for a minute or two. This will slow your breathing because the buildup of carbon dioxide slows and deepens the breathing. Pushing the finger gently into the socket puts pressure on a nerve that slows the breathing. This works as a quick method to down regulate the body.
Covering your eyes with light blockers that airlines used to give out or a strip of black cloth boosts natural melatonin production. A white noise generator with nature sounds or a fan is helpful for some. I found this particularly helpful in a dorm or apartment situation. A relatively new contributor to sleep problems is blue light from the screens on our electronics. There are now apps available that modify and turn down the light from our screens near bedtime.
Thanks for the video... Miss Emily has such a pleasant demeanor.
I fell asleep halfway during the video, Thanks Dr Chan!
I will occasionally open and use half of a NOW brand 3mg gel cap sublingually just before bed. I hold and swish the mostly rice powder carrier under my tongue for a few minutes before swallowing it. This works well.
I have had great luck using the "I Can Make You Sleep" book and CD that comes with the book. I rarely use melatonin anymore because the CD and book have reprogrammed my mind for a better nights sleep. I only use the melatonin when I need to shift my sleep cycle and get a deeper nights sleep.
Thank you,very informative.
Thank you.
She knew I was in bed while watching the vid. Dr. Chan is in the illuminati! Lol
i have tried high doses in the past but often they will make you sleep then wake up always early in the morning.this doc is bang on take 0.3mg or 0.5mg.I take 1mg timed release is great you dont wake up in the middle of the night about 2hours before sleep.
Going to try this
What if I dont have a pineal gland? (mine was removed due to a tumor) what are my options? Are there other parts of my body that can produce this hormone?
Actually I’m watching because your pretty, smart too. But I really was watching for doses of melatonin but you really are still pretty.
Anyone else hear birds?
dkbuttons1 i too
Lol I thought I was hearing voices
well presented, thank you from "sleepless on Maui" ...
on methadone and getting no sleep this was referred by several people for me to try this melatonin to sleep...what do you think about this? my doctor told me to try it also
Hello I always wake during the night every night...any suggestions before I start my melatonin regimen?
Emily is so cute, anyways I take Melatonin at 6pm so by time its in my system I’m ready to catch my sleep. Also make me more relaxed and calm. I take the (Melatonin 3mg with Vitamin B6 1mg) perfect combo made by nature’s measure, I purchased it from Dollar Tree at $1, amazing effect and great price for 30 tablets.
FALLING AND STAYING ASLEEP IS SO DAMN HARD
I've been taking melatonin for about a month. Started at .5mg for 2 weeks and for the last 2 weeks at 1mg. It does put me to sleep, but I always wake up around 1am. Should I be considering time release?
Is it "safe" to Take Melatonin at this low Dosage (0,5) for a period of about 6 Months if someone Doesn't have any contraindications for this drug?
Wait isn't this video enough to fall asleep?
😂 😂 😂
just use a liquid version or powder but liquid is easier to find and dose, to get a smaller dose.
I have been taking melatonin for 3 weeks now, but I didn't help me at all.. Where do you think the problem is?
i thought there was a bird in my house.
I take 60mg of melatonin and doing wonderful. Finally able to sleep
I’ve took a 3mg melatonin, but it woke me up in the middle of the night, so I’m thinking is it the 3mg that’s causing me to get up at 1am 3mg might be too high for me, I want to be able to wake up around 7 or 8 am, 1am is too early smh 🤦🏽♂️, and since I took the 3mg I will probably will have daytime sleepiness, what do I gotta do to fix that, I’m not a night person.
I have already bought 5 mg. What do I do now?
Thank lovers
She reminds of the reporter in Vampire Assassin
Does anyone notice that on the left side of her neck, there looks to be a swollen gland? Concerning...and I really hope she is aright.
I was distracted by the very loud bird and the freeway. Can u repeat what u just said?
Hi. I just ordered Melatonin and it says that its 3 mg, after ordering it I came across your video and now I'm worried about taking this pill since its 3 mg. I read an article on the internet it said "If you are using regular melatonin tablets, you can cut the pill into fourths, otherwise, try to find the smallest pill size available". So if the pills that I ordered are 3 mg, should I split into half or fourths?
I would really appreciate a reply. Thank you! :)
ahsan sahib me ne nature's bounty melatonin 1mg order kiya hai. agar ap intersted hai to me us site ka name mention karon ga jis ke zariye me ne mangwaya hai

I started taking 3 mg of melatonin and slept very well. But I'm pre diabetic trying to get my glucose down and wondering why all of a sudden my glucose was shooting up in the morning even when I was fasted. I found a study that said that access melatonin causes insulin to go down. So if you're diabetic be careful. I've stopped taking it
I take 60mg of melatonin at night and finally able to sleep. I've done my research
How much melatonin is created by our body naturally.
Is it true that it can cause vivid dreams? I've read a lot about it

i love Asmr, it's bizarre but it totally sends me into a deep sleep. It has some science behind it too. i hope you feel better soon.
I buy whatever your selling.
I have taken 0.5mg - 3mg not helping at all I only slept like 2-3hrs a day Dr. Chan any suggestion
try liquid melatonin and take it 1-2 hours before sleep.0.5mg is enough.now foods do one.
if you're sleeping 2-3 hrs a day... somethings terribly wrong.
Thanks captain obvious, pretty sure they know that already. Na hee if you're only sleeping 2-3 hours a night it might be stress. Try to reduce stress and it'll get better.
na hee take 10mg with Lavender oil drops under your tongue. Helps me out
@@plutoplatters not really depends on your health/body energy. I sleep this much when i eat only raw fruits because i have so much energy my body does not require much sleep to recover but when i eat cooked food or heavier food i sleep 2x as much.
Very pretty lady
no wonder the supplement are all under dosed
the sound is so low
Im teenager and I want to ask something:
Im 14-teen and can I use melatonin cuz I can't fall asleep easly and what is best dose for me ? Thank anyway :)

Omg never realized this but u look like you are 12 years old are u really a naturalpathic doctor?
No she doesn't weirdo!
I'm having trouble getting my 16 month old to sleep through out the night. She wakes up for middle of the night feeds from the breast. I'm working on a gentle way of sleep training but it's really exhausting for me
microwave
Gerald L huh?
How to take it ? Swallow it or with water ?
It depends. If they're sublingual tablets, u can place them under your tongue. However if they are tablets then u can swallow them with water. It should say on the bottle "sublingual" if not then u swallow them whole with water.
Thank you !

Ok ok I know i sound crazy but I’m 13 and was told to take 2 pills and now I worried I’m going to die 😕 Help??
RIP
3 or 4 mg is not a high dose.
Its actually high does the body produces 25mcg - 300mcg naturally. 3-4mg is way higher not safe long term to take this much daily.
Is 1.5 mg ok?
Different people have different tolerances. Usually 0.5-2mg is fine. Sometimes at higher doses, people feel groggy in the morning. Use the least to give yourself some effect.
My psychiatrist used to recommend 3-9 mg
+Dr. Emily Chan ND are there any side effects from melatonin in testosterone production influencing impotence?? please answer
thanks, great info, just maybe be less robotic and a little more human in future videos?
