Who qualifies for Melatonin

Melatonin is a hormone that regulates your sleep-wake cycle. Doctors typically consider it for individuals experiencing sleep disorders such as insomnia, jet lag, or shift work sleep disorder. When reviewing your case, the doctor looks for a clear medical need for sleep regulation. They also assess your medical history, current medications, and any pre-existing conditions to ensure Melatonin is safe and appropriate for you. Contraindications might include certain autoimmune diseases, seizure disorders, or if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.

What Melatonin actually does (and doesn't do)

Melatonin signals to your body that it's time to sleep. It helps regulate your circadian rhythm, making it easier to fall asleep and stay asleep. It's not a sedative that knocks you out but rather a hormone that gently guides your body into a sleep-ready state. For many, it can improve sleep quality and reduce the time it takes to fall asleep. However, it doesn't cure underlying sleep disorders and its effectiveness can vary. Realistic timelines for improvement often involve consistent use over several days or weeks to re-establish a healthy sleep pattern.

Side effects and when to stop

While generally well-tolerated, Melatonin can cause side effects such as drowsiness, headache, dizziness, and nausea. These are usually mild. You should stop taking Melatonin and consult a doctor if you experience persistent or severe side effects, or if your sleep problems worsen. Always follow the prescribed dosage and do not exceed it. If you find yourself still struggling with sleep after a reasonable period, it's a sign to seek further medical advice.
