Oh really? I find melatonin doesn’t knock me out, just makes me a bit groggy so it’s easier to fall asleep. Kinda like when you’re in bed and the alarm goes off. You can get up, but it feels so good just to stay in bed and sleep.
I don’t take it regularly just in case you do build up a tolerance. I find that taking it for a bit helps restore my natural cycle. But I have no idea if you can take it long term regularly and have it still be as effective. It is supplementing a hormone already produced by your body, and melatonin production decreases as we age .
Hang on a second there…
I wake in the night 2 or 3 times.
Sometimes it’s 45 minutes before my alarm or some other depressing time.
Sometimes it’s 5 hours before my alarm. The feeling when I look over and still have 5 more hours is really nice.
Wait just one damned minute here…lemme think about this.
You could try taking some melatonin before bed. That usually keeps me from noticibly waking up in the middle of the night.
And that ladies and gentlemen is the story of how I wet the bed

Do you build up a tolerance over time?
