	            	            As a chronic fatigue syndrome patient I have suffered from sleep disturbances for many years. I use 1mg melatonin capsules on an as needed basis and find that they reliably induce sleep within 30 minutes when taken after getting into bed at night. 

Initially I tried higher doses of 3 and 5mg and noticed a slight drowsiness in the morning. I have found that 1mg is just as effective at helping me get off to sleep and doesn't produce any drowsiness at all in the morning. I have also not experienced any other side effects and am not aware of any safety concerns when taking such low doses. 

Melatonin supplements are very cheap and a bottle will last a long time, especially when used only when absolutely necessary. 

I have tried various other sleep aids, some of which have worked and some haven't, but I tend to come back to melatonin as it works reliably, has no side effects and doesn't cost the earth!
