I was recommended to take melatonin, but only 3mg. After much research, I found out that Melatonin is a hormone that your brain produces in response to darkness. It helps with the timing of your circadian rhythms (24-hour internal clock) and with sleep. Being exposed to light at night can block melatonin production.

I have come to the same conclusion. These companies that market 10 mg gummies or pills are doing nobody any favours. It's well above a therapeutic dose for the majority of typical users. Also, the blue light from our electronic screens is bad for sleep. You can go into settings, in case this is news to anyone reading, and set up a daily time when your screen automatically adjusts its light spectrum output, and you'll notice that the screen looks more yellow at that time...less blue is allowed through by the software. This helps a lot. I have used it for quite a few years now. I use 2100 hrs as my switch time.
