What dose of melatonin did you take? It's supposed to help you fall asleep and sleep more soundly, not knock you out. It's not a narcotic.
OTC melatonin comes in 1 mg, 3 mg, 5 mg, and 10 mg doses. (Personally, I like the "Fast dissolve" tablets from Natrol, available at pretty much any grocery store. White bottle, purple lid.) Most people start small and go up if they need to, and 3 mg or 5 mg is usually enough for a noticeable difference.
If it's knocking you out like that, maybe try a lighter dose if you can. If you're already on 1 mg, you can try cutting the pill in half.
One advantage of melatonin for me, is that the 3-4 AM bathroom trip is delayed until wake-up.
YES! I have found out the Pee Delay is a thing.
Sometimes you have to take what you have for as good as it's going to get, for now.
stop banging your head on the wall…. heh heh
I suspect wife, with a hammer in the bedroom
I can sympathize. But with Melatonin and all drugs nothing works 100%
The wife uses melatonin with limited success, but I'm up to pee every 3 hours no matter what.
