MELATONIN FOR SLEEP: OVERCOME SLEEP PROBLEMS AND REVITALIZE YOUR BODY AND YOUR MIND

By Dr. John Tyler

Melatonin sleep aids are growing in popularity, with millions of Americans using them, according to a nationwide survey from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. If you're among them or are considering melatonin for sleep, it's smart to understand exactly how melatonin works. "Your body produces melatonin naturally. It doesn't make you sleep, but as melatonin levels rise in the evening it puts you into a state of quiet wakefulness that helps promote sleep. Most people's bodies produce enough melatonin for sleep on their own. However, there are steps you can take to make the most of your natural melatonin production, or you can try a supplement on a short-term basis if you're experiencing insomnia, want to overcome jet lag, or are a night owl who needs to get to bed earlier and wake up earlier, such as for work or school.If you'd like to harness melatonin's sleep-inducing effects, below are some steps to take.The hormone melatonin plays a role in your natural sleep-wake cycle. Natural levels of melatonin in the blood are highest at night. Some research suggests that melatonin supplements might be helpful in treating sleep disorders, such as delayed sleep phase, and providing some relief from insomnia and jet lag.Melatonin is generally safe for short-term use. Unlike with many sleep medications, with melatonin you are unlikely to become dependent, have a diminished response after repeated use (habituation), or experience a hangover effect.
