This sleep aid provides 2.5 mg of Melatonin per serving for occasional use or as a short-term sleep supplement. Adults chew 1 gummy one hour before bedtime.

Dr. Erik St. Louis, a Mayo Clinic neurologist, says melatonin gummies and supplements can be effective for people with sleep issues. "Melatonin, in general, can help with sleep problems, especially when there's a problem with insomnia, which is trouble falling and/or staying asleep," he says.

Sleep gummies contain active ingredients to induce sleep, most commonly melatonin, L-theanine, and CBD. Perhaps the only benefit sleep gummies have over supplements in capsule or tablet form is that they are easier for people who cannot swallow pills, says Dr.

It is typically safe for adults to take melatonin every night for short periods of time.

Taking more than 10mg of melatonin is not recommended by healthcare professionals, and could lead to melatonin overdose, which comes with a host of potential negative side effects. These more serious side effects may include: Excessive sleepiness.

Melatonin supplements are fast-acting sleep aids that can last up to five hours.

Doses of melatonin in the range of 1 mg to 5 mg can help promote good sleep quality and normal circadian rhythms (sleep-wake cycles). If sleep problems persist after taking supplemental melatonin for 1-2 weeks, you should consult a sleep specialist.

It is typically safe for adults to take melatonin every night for short periods of time. Several factors affect whether an individual should take melatonin every day.

A typical melatonin dose is around 0.1 to 10 milligrams, which is already substantially higher than what your body produces - between 10 to 80 micrograms a night. While it would be extremely rare to overdose on melatonin, taking too much can cause headaches, vomiting, and even changes in blood pressure.
