Considering the most common dose I found on sale was about 3mg and they even went up to 10mg, I assumed 1mg was the low end.

If your melatonin comes in plastic capsules, like mine, you can twist them apart, discard some amount of the contents (I tend to roughly-fill the smaller of the two caps and throw the rest) and optionally put them back together, without too much hassle.

I'm trying hard to imagine how that works.

Take pill.

Bit a bit off.

Leave the rest for later.

it's not exact, of course, but it's not too tricky to get them in between 2/5 and 3/5.

I do this too, though in smaller bites. fitfths? fourths? I'm not sure, actually, but it seems to work.
