Hi,
How long do you find it takes for melatonin to kick in and how long do the effects last for? I'm considering using it for naps but don't want to use too much or feel a little tired afterward.
Thanks.

I am 240 lbs and take 1mg instant release and 1mg time released and that does me great for 8-10 hours. Lots of people recommend .3-.6mg per dose. I recommend getting a pill splitter and trying different doses to see what you prefer.
Somethings to look for are:
-Waking up about 3-5 hours after taking pill
+++++This usually means that you are taking too much, and your body overcompensates causing it to dispose all of the melatonin quickly.
-Feeling overly irritated
+++++Melatonin in ones system makes one cranky if you are awake
-Vivid dreams
+++++Taking Melatonin increases vividness of dreams.
