Melatonin to help with sleep

[nogutsnoglory]

Anyone try supplementing with melatonin? I've resisted for a long time but I'm thinking I'll give it a try to help sleep better. I have read mixed reports on whether it's ok for autoimmune disease, some studies indicate it can help crohns and others that it can induce a flare.

Anyone have experience? How much do you take?

I do use Melatonin periodically. I don't like to become reliant on sleep aids but if I am having a few weeks of no sleep I resort to 2 Melatonin tabs at night. I may use them for a week & they have really been helpful for me. Based on my experience they seem to readjust my sleep pattern : )

Great to hear. How many mg? Do you feel it's affected your IBD in any way?
