Why do they say to take melatonin and vitamin b6 before bed?
Shouldn't vitamin b6 keep you awake? What's the science behind it? For the past week I've been taking b6 and melatonin before bed and I'm having pretty wacked up dreams. It does help me fall asleep, but I wake up around 6 AM and can't fall back asleep for about 30 mins. Is it safe to keep taking?

Vitamin B-6 is an important co-factor, but watch out for it if you are a woman around ‘period’ time. Because it is a natural diuretic and can cause you to be up a lot overnight. But it helps considerably for fluid retention, starting from the time of breast tenderness.
Safe? Yes, as long as you don’t exceed about 300 mg per day.

B6 before sleep will give you a terrible nights sleep, even with Melatonin.
B6 is for the nerves so when you do it before sleep, you are firing them up.
For the Melatonin, just take two 3mg tablets.
Save the B6 for the morning.
