>>102749this is false in my experience
ive been taking melatonin for a few months and i can sleep just fine without it provided im tired
ive also had better dreams and been able to remember them more consistently on melatonin but that might be because im getting better sleep in general and not directly because of 'tonin
the issue with melatonin is that you can very easily od on it which can cause hallucinations and nightmares
i remember one night i took two pills instead of one because i had lots of caffeine that day and wanted to sleep quickly. bad idea apparently because every time i shut my eyes i started thinking there was something in the room with me and got super paranoid, started seeing shapes in the darkness etc and didnt get any sleep all night
tldr melatonin is fine but only take one pill
