      Lmao how on earth is this dangerous? Or does this classify as ‘mixing uppers and downers’ for you? Because it definitely isn’t, melatonin is barely more psychoactive than a sugar pill

        My understanding of melantonin is its something you wanna regulate and spread out, like maybe once a week. When I took it in combination with a zinc pill, man I would be in walking dream mode before I even got to my bunk.

        I did some reading at the time about the zinc and melotonin, and I could be confusing the mexhanism and effects of the two.

        Or I might be entirely wrong and I thank you, and you other guys for calling me out.

        I am too lazy to read up on this right now so while I would be wary of combining the two, it might be ok and I might just be wrong .

        I have had a long day and gonna zonk now without any supplement heh. Thanks for replying, I prefer to be corrected and its always fun learning I have been wrong my entire life about something, heh

          I have only heard of melatonin for jet lag and changing shift work

          I don’t believe it’s good for sleep in general given those two uses are about messing with circadian cycles and that’s not going to help someone without otherwise good sleep habits

      Not any more dangerous than taking 700mg of caffeine on its own

        You mean in a single dose? I’ll have 700mg 1000mg over three hours often
