What are the probability of have nightmares near melatonin?

I've been having sleeping problems for a while now, and my doctor suggested melatonin. I took it for the first time tonight contained by hopes of getting a better sleep. I looked up side effects, and it said that there were some cases of nightmares.
Does anyone know any information at all something like whether or not there is a certain "type" of person (such as females, the elderly, children, etc.) that find this side effect, or if it's just randomized in everyone?
Thanks.
Answers:
I have sleep troubles and for me, individually... never felt rested from sleep until I took melatonin. It was an absolute godsend! Everyone can be at variance though, so give things a chance before you start thinking trouble right out of the take. Also, please test out the drug being taken at a time the doctor recommends and if after 2 days or so you find you are have nightmares, try taking it 45 minutes earlier or later , or simply use increments of 45 min blocks of time (as in 45 minutes, 1 1/2 hrs, 2 1/4 hrs, etc) as this is how sleep cycles are "timed". If your melatonin wear off when you are in a deep sleep cycle because you mis-timed your dosage, you might surface sluggish, stressed or grumpy or have had very vivid or alarming dreams. If you shift the medicine dose an extra 45 minutes ahead, you might hit a time of light, wakeful sleep and feel awfully refreshed. So, I guess what I am trying to say is do not be afraid to fiddle beside the time to suit your body rhythms. You do not want to give up quickly.

Keywording "sleep cycles" as well as "minimizing melatonin side effects" will bring up some pious reading for you to find out more online.

Hope this is clear and has helped, if not email me and I'll try to clarify, ok? Good luck!

*Edit* btw, I do not know that the side effect is for any specific group, but I notably doubt it! Probably people that didn't understand what I just told you in the order of timing and sleep cycles. Source(s): nursing experience and personal experience
An increase in dream activity is the most common side effect near melatonin. It is quite common in adjectives types of melatonin users.

Best wishes and good luck.
