If you have ever taken a 10mg melatonin supplement and woken up feeling like you were hit by a truck, you are not alone.
What melatonin actually does
Melatonin is not a sedative. It is a hormone your pineal gland releases in the evening in response to darkness. Its job is to send one signal: it is dark outside, time to wind down. That signal is binary — more melatonin does not make it louder.
The dose problem
Most supplements contain 5mg, 10mg, or 20mg. Research suggests doses as low as 0.3mg can be effective at advancing sleep timing. When you take 10mg, you are flooding your system with 10 to 30 times what your body naturally produces. The next morning, residual melatonin contributes to that heavy, foggy feeling.
Why rora sleep uses 2mg
We chose 2mg because it is clinically meaningful without overshooting what your body needs. Combined with six supporting botanicals, the formula addresses multiple layers of sleep: falling asleep, staying asleep, and waking up refreshed.
