Being responsible for the blinding was annoying for my girlfriend, and it would be better to find ways to either do it myself in future experiments, or at least streamline the process to not have her involved every day of the experiment
I like this sort of thing. I think you could get a small lazy susan, and 3 shot glasses. Fill and dose each glass placing a note card under each one specifying the date and dose or placebo. Then close your eyes and spin the lazy susan. Choose a cup from the randomized lazy susan and add it to a larger drink to dilute the taste. Take the card from that glass and store it for reference. Pour out the other glasses and destroy their cards.
I think that would get you self administered blind testing at the cost of wasting some melatonin and note cards.
