I wish we had a chemistry and /bio/logy board.
I need some /edu/cation and I'm asking 4chan of all places.
Is melatonin a real sleeping pill which can cause side effects if taken with 40% alcohol and/or other types of benzos and opiates?
i don't know anything about that but melatonin does work. it's like the only "herbal" type medicine that isn't bullshit.
Melatonin does fuck all with alcohol and drugs
Its more of a sleeping aid than a sleeping pill
And 3 mg is good
It doesnt really get more effective at higher doses

So it's neuro-herbal because it produces more substance which normally your brain would produce. Soo it shouldn't interfere with other sleeping pills and make you grow resistance towards other treatments and substances.

When you take it correctly, you take it right before going to bed, where you stay with your lights out for some 15 min and you'll fall asleep then. It's not like popping a pill and waiting to be sleepy.
Alcohol and benzos will ruin the point of it even if they don't interfere. Do you need to be a degenerate even when you just want to sleep?

This is false. Take it several hours before you want to sleep and avoid blue light after that. Melatonin is naturally produced by your pineal gland after the sun sets and makes you sleepy

Hmm blue light? The lamp in my room has a blue lightbulb, I find it relaxing. Never noticed it affecting my sleep.
I take 3mg of melatonin before bed every night. Alcohol mixed with melatonin is honestly cool, makes it less tipsy and more dreamy. It also pairs very well with LSD.
It's a good supplement. It's a natural hormone that's produced in your brain, not really a "sleeping pill."
