I didn’t have any other choice accept for another melatonin. It was very late.


But my sleep walking and especially my reactions to melatonin i don’t think are normal.


I probably should ask for a referral for a sleep study.


Especially if this stuff happens almost every night.


Have you tried a much lower dose of melatonin? Too much can actually make insomnia worse and cause you to wake up in the middle of the night.
0.25mg is a lot more helpful for me than 3mg.
