FYI, every melatonin supplement is way too high of a dose and is completely saturating your melatonin receptors, leading to tolerance and dependency.

Your body is not producing more than .5mg of melatonin naturally, so taking a 5mg supplement far too much. And they sell 15-20mg too. If you can find 1mg that’s best; but what’s even better in the long run is not using it!

I know it’s said over and over and over, but regular exercise!! There are certain types and times of exercise that are more effective, but generally speaking, exercise leads to serotonin conversion to melatonin and makes sleepy time easier.

Absolutely! Additionally, morning sun is another great way to regulate your circadian clock and let your body start its internal timer for melatonin release.

In the winter, I use a light box for seasonal affective disorder, and in addition to feeling much more energized, I find it helps me get more consistent sleep!

Interesting. I have SAD, I’ll look into this, thanks!
Please do! Research has shown that as little as 20 minutes of light therapy in the morning can have positive effects
