Melatonin making me feel hung over??

Question

I took 2 of my daughters melatonin last night and this morning I woke up feeling like I was hung over and felt like I was drunk when I got up. Is this normal ? I had to go back to sleep for another 3 hours to feel better. Maybe I’m just behind on sleep?

Answer

If it has that effect on an adult, imagine the effect on a child.

Answer

Melatonin supplements *always* make me feel hungover/drugged for 3 to 6 hrs after waking (usually after 12+ hrs of sleep) and hideously cranky to boot. I tried melatonin in different dosages (5mg, 2.5mg, 1mg) and it didn't matter; the end result was the same. 
I gave up, lol, and just arrived at the conclusion that "deep sleep" isn't something I'm going to be getting 🙃

Answer

That’s a normal side effect of melatonin.

Answer

That’s what it does it makes you tired. Take less next time lol. Your body naturally produces melatonin as well
