As I understand it melatonin doesn't necessarily help you to stay asleep, so I found it to be a game changer when I switched to a time release melatonin. Now if I wake in he middle of the night I find it much easier to fall back asleep.
My doctor researched it with me during a checkup and it seems that there is no real overdose for it. Rather, extra just doesn't have an effect on you. This is to say that you could probably play around with doses to see what works--somewhere between 3mg and 12mg or so.

In my case, it does have this effect. If I wake up, I can get back to sleep rather than toss and turn.
Lucky! When looking into it I'd read that for some people it does have a prolonged effect while for others it doesn't.
