melatonin is not a sleeping pill, it won't make you sleepy, it is use to help you sleep thru the night, without tossing and turning and waking up at 2am and can'[t fall asleep. One pill is all that is needed, take it an jour before you go to bed. Also, take Kava Kava with the melatonin. or you can try ZMA, I think this is even better. it also help with muscle recovery. The best ZMA stack is from Iron Tek, It contains Zinc Monomethionine Aspartate plus Magnesium Aspartate and vitamin B-6, and is an all-natural product that has been clinically proven to significantly increase anabolic hormone levels and muscle strength in trained athletes.
I used it and it actually works.
