I'll go with Art on this one.

In addition to just being an article, (they provide no links to back up their assertions. Art does.) it is published by a periodical called, mind body green, which doesn't exactly have a ring of authority. If I didn't have to pick lint out of my navel, I would send the authors some Art's content.

I agree, Marc.

"To correct a short-term sleep disruption, Bhopal recommends taking no more than 0.5 to 1 milligram of melatonin at a time. "I tell my clients 'less is more' when it comes to melatonin," she says, as taking higher doses of it can increase the likelihood of uncomfortable side effects like grogginess upon waking."

It's true for hubby. He can't take more than 1 t (1mg) melatonin. He is groggy and can't function the day after. Guess it's not one size fits all.

Simply put, actual studies prove otherwise.
