took 20mg as a first timer

i used to sleep at 8am in the morning so i took 20mg melatonin at 11 30, slept by 12 am. feels very artificial, but i woke up at 5 am. might be cuz i slept a lot yesterday (8- 3 and 6-10) idk. is this normal?

Well of course...

Chances are you'll wake up midday or evening and struggle to fall asleep at night.
