(484 posts)but have odd side effects if I take more than 4 or 5 mg or use it every night...severe headaches, hours-long grogginess the next morning. I now take a combo of approx. 3mg melatonin, 20 mg CBD and 5mg THC (which is legal here in California, thankfully) 3 or 4 nights a week. That lets me sleep well 4-6 hours with minimal side effects.
I use prescription meds other nights usually with some CBD. If I use anything every night it becomes less effective over time and/or I start having more severe side effects.
I have had a weird relationship with sleep for a long time.
It would be wonderful if melatonin turns out to be a therapeutic treatment for Covid. Its cheap and readily available OTC. Are there any trials going on with it, I wonder?
Looks like there is one in Spain. Started April 2020, results by Dec 2020.
