    It’s most useful to take 2-3 hours before bed to reset your circadian rhythm. Essentially it mimics the melatonin you make at sun down to prepare your body for sleep. You only need 1-2 mg to do this.

      I even think 1 mg is too much. It’s active in microgram doses. Also read the Wikipedia page, it’s poorly regulated and pills can contain upwards of 4x what they say.
