how can I get better sleep?

Melatonin: Dosage

Very small doses of melatonin have been shown to induce sleep. The appropriate dose varies by person, but as little as 1/10 of a milligram (mg)has been shown to be effective in some studies. Try starting with ½ mg and work up from there if needed. The difficulty is that the smallest dose commonly available is 1mg, so you'll need to cut the pill in half. You should wake up refreshed and energized. If not, then lower the dose.
