Taking melatonin recently

[Epedaphic]

Been taking melatonin lately to help me sleep. Thankfully it’s been working somewhat, it does leave me feeling groggy but at least I can sleep at night.

One thing I noticed with melatonin is that I always have interesting dreams when I take it. Nothing too crazy, just being in different places. Last night I dreamt I was on a cruise ship, and that I was also more talkative and outgoing (and of course, probably better looking, or at least I was treated more like a human) and had the opportunity to talk to a lot of people and to get to know some of them, who actually seemed interested in me as a person.

In other dreams I’ll just be walking around a building or city with a group of friends, talking with them. Or exploring somewhere. It will be nice.

In this way dreams offer me something that’s inaccessible in real life. The ability to go through life as a normal person. To go outside without anxiety and to talk to people unhindered by anxiety and social awkwardness. And of course the treatment of being human.

It’s sad to reflect on this and realize that others can live this life just because of how they look.

did you notice the effect immediately or did it take a while, tried taking some for like 3 days and felt no change so I stopped

I tried it in the past 5-10 years ago with zero effect. But the past few years I just need a very tiny dose (1/4 of a 5mg gummy) which works for me. I found the trick to be taking it early enough.

I do feel tired from it the next day but these days I have to choose between that, or feeling tired from not sleeping

How much are you taking? You're only supposed to take like a max of 1mg. I usually take 0.4mg - 0.7mg per night. Taking more doesn't actually help and can make your sleep worse.

If you're desperate to sleep you can take a benadryl or two to knock you out, though it doesn't actually improve the quality of your sleep and is bad in the long-term

the best sleep I get is when i go cold turkey without alcohol for 4+ weeks, get good long workouts in, and take some melatonin.
