Melatonin usually comes as 2mg, slow release tablets.

The usual dose is one 2mg slow release tablet taken 1 to 2 hours before bedtime.
Sometimes your doctor will recommend that you only take melatonin 2 or 3 times a week to see if that improves your sleep first.
Melatonin should only be taken for a maximum of 13 weeks to treat short-term sleep problems in adults, but longer courses may be used on the advice of a specialist.

There are a number of conditions, including ADHD, cerebral palsy and chronic fatigue syndrome, which may affect your sleep.
