    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
