Quality control on melatonin products is atrocious. It might help for a night or two in the correct dose. But you might inadvertently take a 120x dose.
Melatonin actually messes up with your sleep cycle I wouldn’t recommend taking it before talking with a doctor and knowing all the potential side effects;
The first few days of using melatonin seemed to help me sleep but after a couple of days it seemed like the drowsy feeling became unstable and delayed at times.
After like a week I stopped using it altogether after searching and learning about all the details online and I’d be feeling drowsy during the daytime, I almost fell asleep on the bus several times which was scary.
Again I’d recommend consulting a doctor (or your family doctor) and learn about the details online before taking melatonin🫡🌻
Melatonin is safe?

my family and I learned the hard way🙃
How did it change your cycle ?

As long as you weren’t the driver, doesn’t sound very scary :-)
Best case scenario: It takes an extra 1hr 30min trip back
Worst case scenario: you’re forced off at a bad part of the city potentially in freezing cold temperatures
I don’t know the city by heart so if my phone dies I’m also shit out of luck there as well🙃
