hi Jemma,
> I find that the 3 mg tablets of melatonin sold by health food stores give me hangovers and leave me groggy the next day. I use a pill splitter to chop them into 8 pieces, roughly .375 mg. Believe it or not, this small dose is the difference between mild insomnia and a good night's sleep. And it's cheap too! :)

> Jemma... and that's exactly what my experience with 5mg of melatonin was several years ago ... ... i'd feel drunken all day long ... very unpleasant ... however, i wasn't fighting insomnia ... i was trying it as a nutritional supplement ... ... still have most of the melatonin i bought then ... .. ... guess it'd be best to throw it out and get fresh, if i needed it again ...
my Point (so many people ask me!)?
... i agree with you, Jemma... thanks for your post and ... ...
Take Care!!
