Here's a copy of something Dove posted to a thread in the Oct1 Archive on melatonin (hope you don't mind me copying this, dove):
Here is the low-down on the best in results and with no side-effects. Sublingual Melatonin, the kind that you let melt under your tongue. I only need half of 1 mg. ( 0.5 mgs) My daughter needs only 1/4 of a 1mg. sublingual pill. The response is incredible, fast (I mean rapid) it doesn't leave you feeling droggy in the a.m., although it doesn't change the way a person normally acts in the morning (like me being scatter-brained and crabby) and it does NOT cause depression in either one of us. I truly believe it does the opposite, getting enough sleep is a God-send.

So, I hope you got the sublingual kind and I hope Dove's experiences mirror your own. I know when I took the regular tablets, the sleep was great but the hangover was awful.
Good luck,
Bob
