Great info doc

[@DrMauriceDakar]

Thanks for watching!

[@MrTheRalez]

I take 1 mg tablet (not every night), and 6 to 7 hours of sleep with melatonin is enough to start the day so fresh and energetic. Most of the time I don't need coffee in the morning. It take me about 20 minutes to fall a sleep. Btw, I discovered melatonin about 3 months ago, never heard before for it. Melatonin change my life😊

[@DrMauriceDakar]

I wish i have 1mg tablets in my area,
That’s the best way to take melatonin 🙌🏼

[@MrTheRalez]

​@@DrMauriceDakar Yeah, here in Europe we have 1 mg dose, and it's quiet good.

[@user-tm2hl7st1j]

I can’t sleep at night most of the time.. for no reason
Does melatonin cause dependency?

[@DrMauriceDakar]

no it doesn't, you can take it to regulate your sleep safely
which form are you looking to take?

[@user-tm2hl7st1j]

I’m looking for the gummy ones, hopefully they taste good lol

[@DrMauriceDakar]

It does, or at least the one i tried

[@santiniketa7883]

Melatonin does not induce sleep . It maintains sleep. 3 mg per night is the optimum dose.

[@DrMauriceDakar]

Correct, although i read a study saying that it both induces and maintains sleep.
I believe that It helps to sleep faster if you have the right environment, you’ll feel sleepy but it won’t force you to sleep if you don’t want to.

[@HonestQueen-qf5ck]
