Wow talk about different things for different people. I started with 5mg melatonin and doubled it very soon after. I have sleep apnea use a BiPap and had no problem going to sleep or going back to sleep after getting up for the first twenty years. Ive taken several. Sessions on relaxation breathing. I tried CBD OIL and gummies. Finally I bought a OTC melatonin and b6 and calcium supplement. Three weeks and te effect wore off around 4am just as the two previous ones. I found something that has worked for a month so far it's Nature's Bounty Sleep3 I never gave much credance to herbs but here's a long list of them everything Is ever heard suggested plus
Melatonin 10mg. I take it with my night meds and go to bed. I use deep breathing to relax and fall asleep. So far
my daytime fatigue is abating and I'm more alert and
accomplish more. My frequent apneas used to wake me
briefly now I don't notice. I allowed myself to be
medicated for decades and my mental health and acuity is sharper. Now if the pandemic would abate I'd like to be
around more people.

@lolaemma You don't have nightmares from that high dose of melatonin? I have read that many people do if they take a dose over 3mg. I use that occasionally and also use Benadryl.

I have a new PCP and we talked about that. I don't like using Benadryl much. She said the effects of inadequate sleep are worse than the effects of Benadryl! I do find it very helpful. I need to take it a couple of hours before I go to bed though or it takes me a while to not be groggy in the morning.
