Who qualifies for melatonin

When considering melatonin, an EU-licensed doctor looks for specific criteria. Melatonin is typically prescribed for adults experiencing short-term sleep disturbances like jet lag, shift work sleep disorder, or primary insomnia. The doctor will assess your medical history, current medications, and the nature of your sleep issues to determine if melatonin is suitable. They will also consider any potential contraindications, such as certain autoimmune diseases, seizure disorders, or if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.

What melatonin actually does (and doesn't do)

Melatonin is a hormone naturally produced by your pineal gland, signaling to your body that it's time to sleep. When taken as a supplement, it helps regulate your circadian rhythm, making it easier to fall asleep and improving sleep quality. It is most effective for conditions where your internal clock is out of sync. However, melatonin is not a sedative; it won't knock you out. It works by signaling to your body that it's evening, not by forcing sleep. Realistic timelines for improvement can vary, but many users report benefits within a few days to a couple of weeks.

Side effects and when to stop

While generally well-tolerated, melatonin can have side effects. Common ones include drowsiness, headache, dizziness, and nausea. These are usually mild and temporary. More rarely, some people may experience vivid dreams or mild abdominal discomfort. If you experience severe side effects, allergic reactions (like rash, swelling, or difficulty breathing), or if your sleep problems worsen, you should stop taking melatonin and consult a doctor immediately. It's crucial to discuss all existing health conditions and medications with your doctor, as melatonin can interact with blood thinners, antidepressants, and immunosuppressants.
