I don't function well with less than 8 hours. Which makes morning studying hard.

Whoa there, slugger. While melatonin does seem to be safe, it is a hormone and introducing something like that should be done only after other fixes have been ruled out.

OP, address these things before trying melatonin (in no particular order):

Diet
Exercise
Hydration
Try meditation or mindfulness exercises
No caffeine after noon
No devices with backlit screens within an hour or two of bedtime
Use your bed for sleep and sex only
Have a cool, quiet, and dark bedroom with clean sheets
Set regular times for waking up and getting into bed and follow that schedule even if you are exhausted
Limit naps (or try to get rid of them)

If you still have an issue after fixing everything above, then consider trying melatonin.

Thanks,
I think I haven't done enough exercise...especially on weekends sometimes I sit in front of the desk all the day.
Will do some more :)

be careful about exercising too late at night though. ive heard it makes it harder to sleep if you finish exercising less than 3 hours before bedtime. although of course it depends on the person. i personally love running at night and then sleeping.

just walking places that are close enough, instead of taking your car or bike helps too.

Yeah, for sure, but I've been trying very hard to get out of the habit of napping. I used to nap two to three times a day and it made me feel quite unproductive.
