A member asked:
Is there a certain amount of sleep you should get if you take melatonin?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Melatonin: Ideally, about 8 hours of sleep. But this can vary from person to person. It's not only the quantity of sleep, however; the quality of the sleep that you do get should also improve.
