    I had 3 patients in the ER career of my life and I will say they we're in mental ward and the 1 out of 3 was in coma for 3 months and she had to learn how to do everything again.

    Insomnia: 3 mg one hour before bedtime is usually effective, although doses as low as 0.1 to 0.3 mg may improve sleep for some people. If 3 mg per night is not effective after 3 days, try 5 to 6 mg one hour before bedtime. An effective dose should produce restful sleep with no daytime irritability or fatigue.

    Jet lag: 0.5 to 5 mg of melatonin one hour prior to bedtime at final destination has been successful in several studies. Another approach that has been used clinically is 1 to 5 mg 1 hour before bedtime for 2 days prior to departure and for 2 to 3 days upon arrival at final destination.

    Sarcoidosis: 20 mg per day for 4 to 12 months. Take melatonin to treat this specific health condition only under medical supervision. Do not take melatonin supplements long-term without consulting your doctor.

    Depression: 0.125 mg twice in the late afternoon, each dose 4 hours apart (for example, 4 PM and 8 PM). People with depression tend to be particularly sensitive to the effects of melatonin -- meaning that a very low dose is generally enough to achieve the desired outcomes

    melatonin supplements actually worsened symptoms of depression. For this reason, individuals with depression should consult their doctor before using melatonin supplements
