Melatonin: a product used when sleep timing needs support

Melatonin is a substance the body produces naturally to help signal night-time timing. Supplement forms are often used when sleep rhythm has shifted, for example with travel or irregular hours.

The main check is overlap. Melatonin can also appear in sleep blends and some multivitamins, so the total amount should be read across the whole routine, not just one product.

For many people, the simplest product is the easiest one to follow. A clear routine makes it easier to see whether the product actually fits the situation.

If you are pregnant, taking regular medication, or dealing with long-lasting sleep problems, it is better to confirm suitability first. Melatonin works best when the reason for using it is easy to name.
