Good morning Syl!
What you wrote here makes perfect sense to me, and I am looking forward to your further expansion on melatonin. Hopefully you will make that a new post so that this one doesn't get too long...
In any case, and speaking from personal experience, when I have taken 3 mg of melatonin in the past, I WAS drowsy within 30 minutes. If I attempted to stay up longer working on my computer, I kept 'nodding off' sitting up. For me, it was definitely a sleeping aid and no doubt also helped control my gastrointestinal contractions during the night as well (unknown to me). At that time I had not been experiencing any present GI symptoms, just needed to sleep more soundly. Even so, it could have been GI contractions unknown to me that was causing my inability to fall asleep easily in the first place.
The bottom line... with 3 mg of melatonin I fell asleep in 30 minutes and slept extremely well for at least 6 hours.
