Melatonin never worked for me. Tried just about every variant. Gave me migraines; made me nauseated; made me dizzy -- didn't even make me drowsy.
My sister swears by it though.
As for Valerian -- works for me but can't take it most days because I use high doses of Kava Kava regularly. Kava/valaria has been know to induce serial nightmares in those prone to nightmares. Found that one out personally.
Back to melatonin -- it is listed in our references as being acceptable in micro-doses for children. The guideline say 1mg sublingual per 100pounds body weight. But not to exceed 5mg per week. It also suggests milk thistle to help boost the liver is clearing it. shrug.
