Dosages 30 mg and over can be harmful, and should never be taken unless you’ve been told to do so by an experienced doctor.

Melatonin 5 mg typically takes about a half hour to kick in. However, someone with delayed sleep phase syndrome, who naturally falls asleep past midnight (at 1 or 2 am), should take the melatonin 2 hours before he wants to fall asleep. 

Is it safe to take melatonin daily?

Taking Melatonin every day is definitely safe for the average individual. There are a few concerns to keep in mind, though: 

• Melatonin increases blood sugar levels, so it shouldn’t be used by diabetics
• Melatonin may lessen the effects of birth control pills, seizure and high blood pressure medications, and other drugs. 
• It may cause daytime grogginess, dizziness, irritability, and stomach cramps.
