blue, that does sound like a high dose from what i remember reading about melatonin. okay, i looked it up at my trusty wholehealth.com site:

Quote:
For insomnia: Take 1 to 3 mg immediately before going to bed between 9 p.m. and 11 p.m. Start with the lower dose and gradually increase it over time, if needed. (Older adults may want to start at an even lower dose of 0.3 to 0.5 mg.) In general, the lower dose (1 mg) may prove effective if you have trouble falling asleep, but a higher dose (3 mg) may be necessary if you have difficulty staying asleep.
