Melatonin doesn't actually work for sleeping, you need sleeping medication for that. Prescribed by doctors only.

You can ask medical professionals. I'm thinking it's probably placebo.

That’s actually a really common experience — waking up after 3–4 hours when you take melatonin. Here’s why it happens:

---

1. Melatonin doesn’t keep you asleep​

Melatonin mainly helps initiate sleep, not maintain it. It signals your brain that it’s nighttime, helping you fall asleep faster, but its half-life (how long it lasts in your system) is short — usually 30 to 60 minutes.
After 3–4 hours, the effect is gone, and your brain’s natural wake cycle can kick in, especially if your sleep environment or stress hormones aren’t ideal.

---

2. Cortisol and circadian rhythm rebound​

Around 3–5 a.m., cortisol (your wakefulness hormone) naturally starts to rise to prepare your body for waking up.
If your circadian rhythm is slightly misaligned, or your melatonin timing is off, the early cortisol spike can wake you up prematurely.

---

3. Incorrect dose or timing​

Most people take too much melatonin (3–10 mg), when the body naturally produces only about 0.3 mg.

• High doses can spike melatonin levels, then drop sharply, causing a “mini-withdrawal” that wakes you up.
• Ideally, take 0.3–1 mg about 1–2 hours before bed.

---

4. Sleep pressure and environment​

If you’re not tired enough (low sleep pressure), or your environment is slightly off — too warm, bright, or noisy — melatonin might knock you out at first, but not keep you asleep.
Same goes for blue light exposure or caffeine too late in the day.

---

How to fix it​

• Try lowering your dose to 0.3–1 mg.
• Take it 90 minutes before your intended bedtime.
• Avoid screens or bright light after taking it.
• Keep your room cool and dark.
• If you still wake up, try magnesium glycinate or L-theanine to smooth the cortisol spike.
• For long-term fix: get morning sunlight exposure to reinforce your circadian rhythm.
