melatonin keeps waking me up

[Arcana]

When i use melatonin i keep waking up in the middle of the night. Normally i mix it with b6 but with b6 alone i do not wake up. I do have dreams, sometimes lucid but its annoying to keep waking up. Does this happen to anyone else?

do you remember your dreams when you wake up in the middle of the night? could be the end of your sleep cycle eg you just came out of REM and thats what causes you to wake up ? Maybe its the melatonin wearing off because its a melatonin induced sleep ?

You can also reduce it to 1-0.5g. At this dose Melatonin has no waking / insomniac effect while wearing off.

How many times has this happened? How do you know it's the melatonin?

[ZmillA]

You could use that to your advantage. How long do you stay awake when you wake up?

Don't take meltonin?

I usually wake up with excellent recall, and recently a LD. I use the waking to my advantage to write down the dreams, then I take more melatonin and go back to sleep.

For the most part, melatonin knocks me out. I use it for the days when I need to wake up early or I'm really off-schedule. I really prefer it to diphenhydramine (like what's in Tylenol PM or Unisom) because I don't feel groggy and forgetful in the morning. I take about 600mcg when I need it.
