Additional Information:

Melatonin is a hormone, regulating night and day cycles or sleep-wake cycles. Some people who have trouble sleeping have low levels of melatonin. It is thought that adding melatonin from supplements might help people sleep.

People use melatonin to adjust the body's internal clock. It is used for jet lag, for adjusting sleep-wake cycles in people whose daily work schedule changes (shift-work disorder), and for helping blind people establish a day and night cycle.

Melatonin is also used for the inability to fall asleep (insomnia); delayed sleep phase syndrome (DSPS); insomnia associated with attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder (ADHD); insomnia due to certain high blood pressure medications called beta-blockers; and sleep problems in children with developmental disorders including autism, cerebral palsy, and intellectual disabilities. It is also used as a sleep aid after discontinuing the use of benzodiazepine drugs and to reduce the side effects of stopping smoking.

In addition to the above, Melatonin may be prescribed for other reasons, not officially recognized.
