> . If I use a larger dose, I sleep even less well than I would without a supplement.

I stopped taking Melatonin because I noticed, on multiple occasions, that after a week of use my sleeping period became extremely easy to disrupt and resulted in a bad sleep.

I was taking a brand sold in costco, each pill being 5mg.

If I ever decide to try Melatonin agin I will try splitting it into 1/20 parts (0.25mg) and try again

There's no guarantee in general that a pill will have its active ingredients distributed evenly throughout. Although they're not often carried in stores, there are versions of melatonin that come in 0.5mg doses.
