Melatonin is a hormone found naturally in the body. Melatonin used as medicine is usually made synthetically in a laboratory. It is most commonly available in pill form, but melatonin is also available in forms that can be placed in the cheek or under the tongue. This allows the melatonin to be absorbed directly into the body.
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 a hormone produced in the brain that helps regulate your sleep and wake cycle.
Melatonin is most commonly used to treat insomnia, jet lag, and to aid in giving up smoking or long-term use of anti-anxiety medicine (Valium). It is also used to help regulate sleep/wake cycles in people who are blind.
Melatonin has also been used in alternative medicine as an aid to treat insomnia caused by Alzheimer's disease or depression.
