How many mg of melatonin do you take a night to aid in sleep? Im taking it for a sleep aid because i ahve to wake up at 545 3x a week for class. The GH benefits is just a plus
Thanks
Thanks
Yeah, i took like 9 or 12 mg the other day and it didint make me sleepy at allYeah, I never knew anyone breached the 6mg mark. 3-6 wasn't doing anything for me, so I just stopped taking it altogether. Maybe I'll rekindle the Melatonin flame.
took me one night/ four drinks at hard rock.lolHow long does it take to get into your avatar's system?
Wow 10 mgs. I have never gone over 4mgs a night. I'm afraid of feeling too groggy in the morn. I like 3 mg
i thought the same thing when i saw his post. i do fine with a sublingual spray of 1-3 mgs 30 min. before bed and i'm fine. i don't go over 4 mg either.i personally take 10mgs...but most start out with 3-5mgs and increase the dosage accordingly...
im pretty sure atleast 6how much do you actually need for GH boost?
Studies show 5mg or over.how much do you actually need for GH boost?
Yeah a old study stated 12mgs... but I just found a more recent study highlighting 5mgs. Its around here somewhere.Studies show 5mg or over.
have you ever tried Abyss?Jesus, am I the only one that takes 1 mg?
Well I do, about 4 nights a week with my nightly dose of ZMA.
ZMA has been a glorious thing for my sleep. Since I started taking it, I've had the deepest and best sleeps I can remember.
Paired with a little Zeus test booster and I just sleep my way through gains
I like it, Melatonin puts me out in ~30 mins but if i wake up during the night, i am up. Abyss will not knock you out but it will keep you out, you will sleep hard and deep. If you have the time dose some light (1-3mg) melatonin along with abyss and you will wake up feeling hella-rested.Nimbus has taken proven sleep producing compounds such as L-Tryptophan, GABA and Phenibut and combined them with key vitamin and mineral combinations such as Magnesium, Zinc, B-6 and the only active form of B-12 in the Central Nervous System AND neurological pathways…Methycobalamin.
How are u guys taking 1mg and less? Ever tab i have ever seen is 3 mg a tab...IMO if your goin to take melatonin every night (for sleep aid) it should be real low dose. i do .3-.5mg it does nothing to put me to sleep but once i fall alseep i stay asleep, which is very hard for me.
i have read (ill try to find studies, posted them on other melatonin disscussions) that .3mg is as effective as 3mg (or higher) for use as a sleep aid, and at high doses (1mg+) receptors become "burnt out" lessing the effects.
this is all based on the benifit to stay asleep, obviously has nothin to do with GH.
hope this helps someone, just trying to share knowledge.

You can find 1mg tabs out there. Though 1mg dose JACK for me.How are u guys taking 1mg and less? Ever tab i have ever seen is 3 mg a tab...
Can you provide anything stating the burnt out receptors evidence. I know that is the theory, but I have never seen anything conclusive to prove it.IMO if your goin to take melatonin every night (for sleep aid) it should be real low dose. i do .3-.5mg it does nothing to put me to sleep but once i fall alseep i stay asleep, which is very hard for me.

*raises hand*I know people say .3mgs is as effective as 3mgs... but as you will see, things in theory are much different than in real life. I am sure anyone here can attest that 6mgs is much more effective than 3mgs.

What about the people like me that the lower doses NEVER did anything for me? I need 6mgs at least just to do anything. There is a lot of theory, and conjecture surrounding this issue. We need evidence.I use .5 mg's tops. Some of the amounts discussed here are simply way too high for the long term. Let's just assume for the moment everyone has a comfortable mattress and they didn't drink coffee before bedtime... the pineal gland doesn't manufacture nearly as much as what's in a 5 mg pill. Many report that melatonin works at first and then fizzles out, sounds an awful lot like receptor degradation to me. I think higher dosages are used only to treat jet lag to reset circadian rhythms. Technically it isn't a dangerous supp but it is technically a hormone.
Oh I do agree with you. Sleep is a culmination of variables.Everyone's physiology is different but aren't there studies showing how much we naturally secrete? Is there no other factor besides one's brain chemistry that can affect sleep? I mean, I blew three g's on a latex mattress and that investment alone has brought unbelievable sleep. I feel that sometimes sleep patterns or the disruption of them could me more mechanical than chemical.
