MELATONIN

Melatonin is a naturally occurring hormone in your body that helps promote sleep. Because of its calming and sedating effects, it’s also called the “sleep hormone.” Melatonin is a hormone produced by the pineal gland in the brain. It’s primarily responsible for regulating body’s circadian rhythm to manage natural sleep cycle. It’s also involved with regulating blood pressure, immune function, and body temperature. As you age, your body makes less melatonin. 

Darkness causes the body to produce more melatonin, which signals the body to sleep. Light decreases melatonin production and signals the body to be awake. Some people who have trouble sleeping have low levels of melatonin. It is thought that adding melatonin from supplements may help them sleep. It is used for insomnia, jet lag, depression, chronic pain, dementia and many other conditions, but there is no good scientific evidence to support most of these uses.
