Is it okay to take 1mg of melatonin before bed every night?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: there are no known issues with long term use of Melatonin. However, you may want to speak to a physician or a sleep specialist/neurologist to see if there are other reasons for your insomnia that can be corrected without having to be dependent on Melatonin.
