How much is too much melatonin?
365145
most people start off with a 1.5 mg tablet each night before bed-time, and work your way to larger doses if needed.  Seldom is 6.0 mg needed.\n\nMelatonin is one of the least toxic substances known. People have taken as much as 6 grams (600 to 3000 times the normal dosage) of the substance in carefully monitored studies with no sign of toxicity.

Try gradually turning off more lights as the evening progresses. The brain releases a hormone called Melatonin, but it is only released as light decreases & darkness increases. Light will actually turn the melatonin production off. You can also try drinking some herbal tea. If you don't mind taking herbal supplements, kava kava, chamomile or  valerian (be aware this one has a FOUL odor!) are all somewhat effective. Also, you can try taking a calcium/magnesium supplement with your dinner. This will help relax you as the evening wears on.

Way too much, I'm sure.

Forget pills. Today's society eats too much. We eat because it's time to, not for what we should be eating for - which is energy. Most people eat far too much than what they actually need.

there really isnt a side effect of intaking too much vitamin ..your body can only absorb and process so much of it and then you excreet the rest in your urine...so you just waste it...they say the bodies max is 140 milligrams per day

Yes, I have.  It worked pretty well, and the dreams were great.  However, I found that you are not supposed to take it on a daily basis, or for extended periods of time, as your brain will get lazy and decide it no longer needs to make it's melatonin, and then you will be up the creek without a paddle.....

Yup that would be me lol.Usually cause even though i want to sleep my brain does not "shut off" I a;ways joke and say i make my best plans in my sleep.There is a herb on the market by Jamisone called realax and sleep.Says you can take up to 4 but i find 1 does me just find.It basically calms the mind allowing you to fully relax when you sleep so you actually get a good sleep.I bet thats why you feel tired even though you say you get lots of sleep.Could be a vitamin deficiency as well but more likley to be what i said.Its a all natural product not a drug or sleeping pill so why not try it and see if it works.I dont even take them every night .The matress companies want you to believe its your matress dont bye into their pitches .I dont know about you but when i am tired i can sleep almost any where lol.

The release of melatonin is partially regulated by the sensing of daylight in the hypothalamus of your brain. But I think that there is some evidence to show a change in the melatonin releasing time in people who sleep through the day. I also think there are light bulbs designed to better mimic the suns ability to regulate melatonin release.

Too much is 1000 micrograms a day (which is one miligram).\n\nThe reason ther is an upper limit set by the government is because it can mask a vitamin B12 deficiency.\n\nIf you take around 15mg a day (which is A LOT), you may have insomnia, malaise, irritability and GI distress.\n\nRegards,\nRyan

Nothing much, you just consuming extra protein. If you eat too much you will get fat or you will start to have health problems if the %% of set amino acids is over healthy set limits.

You need to be consistent... doing one once in a while is the toughest.  Try to do at least 3 in a row for your body to get into the night rhythm.  Some people try melatonin pills to help them get adjusted.  Good luck.

1000 mg per day?  Call the coroner.  I think your math is wrong.  If you're taking the highest strength, 6 a day, that's 60 mg. 1000 would kill you.\n\nCall a lawyer if you haven't already.  Otherwise not sure what your question is.

I am a nurse, and I don't think it will really hurt you. There are stonger doses of that, so other people take higher doses and have no problems. I would see how you feel before going to sleep, and if you feel dizzy or faint then maybe either call a friend to go to the ER, or call 911. \nI think it may just make you more tired if anything. Tomorrow i would take only 1/2 a pill just to try to regulate your body. I hope this helped, and I hope you are ok.\nGood Luck!

Well, if your an adult, 8-9 hours of sleep is healthy....its not good to under sleep or over sleep. One technique i was taught in my psych class was to lay down on your back, and concentrate on your beathing. You have to make sure your breathing in and out of your diaghram, then after your concentrated, you begin to mentally relax your muscles...and so forth...its really does relax you and helps you stay asleep. If your looking for pills or anything, you can buy melatonin. Melatonin is a chemical in your brain that helps you sleep, when you dont have enough chemical, you cant sleep. Taking melatonin pills helps enhance that chemical and helps you sleep, and the best part is that you can buy at a drugstore otc. Its totally natural. If you have any more questions, feel free to email me.
