It made me feel weird. I could like feel it kick in and trying to put me to sleep but my awareness of it made for a sort of weird pseudo sleep experience. I dunno. I probably wouldn't try it again.

I know what you mean. I take it regularly. What I have figured out is that if I take it at least an hour before I go to bed, then it makes me sleepy and I can nod off pretty quick. Earband headphone and rain sounds as well.
When you take it too late it does weird things and I don't get a good sleep. I also wake up really sleepy.
I was listening to a podcast that talked about melatonin and he said it helps to fall asleep but not stay asleep. He recomended ashwagandha instead. I picked some up but have not tried it yet. I will report back. If I wake up.
