No: That's a pretty strong dose, and the effects may kick in a little later. You may also get some unwanted side effects! if you are having trouble sleeping, let your doctor know about it. Make sure you are exercising every day, since this improves sleep patterns.

A little too much: Maybe try some sleepy tea or melatonin.
