Too much melatonin–about about 5mg for most people–tends to cause nightmares.
Comment on Massive issues with sleep and desperate for a solution.
Drummyralf@lemmy.world 5 weeks agoNot a doctor, but I believe people should be careful with selfmedicating melatonine. Each person needs a different amount and at different times to make it effective. Too much melatonine can actually make you sleepy during daytime, or have an adverse effect on sleep.
Rest of the tips are great.

Agree wholeheartedly with this comment and the parent comment.
It’s frustrating to hear but sleep hygiene is the answer for the vast majority of people.
Xanax and benzos in general will make your sleep worse in the long term. Medium term even. They should be avoided.
