I took two melatonin every night since saturday and i feel like i can't stay awake too long during the day . would that be the cause of this drug?

Melatonin is not: a drug, it is a hormone. it is best taken under the guidance of a doctor. It is taken at a very low dose. You may be taking too much. It is taken 1 hour prior to sleep. Peace and good health.
