The last couple nights I have altered my routine just a bit. I am still getting the hits from 9-10pm or so, and again around midnight.  
Because of those kind of time I have elected to stay awake and abort with o2 and the second hit seems to take Imitrex ( nasal for now ) to kill the beast. The Melatonin @ 12 mg was not working. It was suggested I back off the amount and see if that works. I backed off to 6 mg. I feel It may be working now.  
Questions:
Should I be feeling more tired in the mornings because of the Melatonin?  
I had a hit this morning and I never have a morning hit. Could it be because I selpt through the night?

First few nights on 9mg I felt pretty good, probably all giddy because of getting sleep!  After 2 weeks, it seemed that I was groggy until about 10 AM every day.  I get up at 5AM, so that makes 5 hours to really wake up.  Going to bed later, while seeming to be a good idea, never worked for me.  I was more wiped out the next day.  I just go to bed, wake up to abort, then go back to bed.  I use the injection, so I am up a total of 15mins.  Try to condition yourself to abort then crash right away.  It took me a few bad nights before I could go back to sleep right away, but I finally did it.  Probably because I was so wiped during the day from getting hit at work.

No. Melatonin does not induce sleep nor should it make you drowsy.

because melatonin effects the quality of your sleep it can make you feel real sluggish after a while. If I take it for a couple days in a row it gets real hard to get going in the morning. Usually last for 4-5 hrs.
