Thanks for writing these up. I'm curious which dimension you're referring to when up say that melatonin sucks at higher doses - health effect or cognitive effect?
Also, for reference, I take about 75 mcg when I want to fall asleep quickly and consider upward of .5mg quite a bit.
Er... Sleep quality enhancing effect? Is that a thing?
Where do you find such small doses? I think 5mg is pretty high, and I used to cut the pills in half, but recently I've been too lazy to cut them.
Gotcha. With too much I feel drugged rather than sleepy, and groggy the next day.
Here and break in fourths: http://www.amazon.com/Sundown-Naturals-Melatonin-Tablets-tablets/dp/B000GG2I9O
Not sure how easily transmittable the skill is, but I can easily break those into fourths by hand by placing thumb and pointer of each hand on one half and twisting one half slightly away from me and the other half toward me. Helps that those are a bit softer than others I've encountered
