    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
