(More customer reviews)Melatonin is a hormone the body manufactures from the brain neurotranmitter serotonin. Serotonin gives the mind a peaceful satisfied feeling. The human body secretes melatonin from the pineal gland. The release of melatonin is stimulated by darkness and promotes sleep when the hormone levels are sufficient. 1 to 3 mgs of Melatonin will work to promote a sleepy feeling and aids in sleep, so you may have to take up to three tablets.
I have found that the occasional use of Melatonin has helped me to fall asleep easier. I don't believe this product should be used on a nightly basis, as regular daily use actually inhibits the natural production of Melatonin in one's body.
I have had no hang-over effect in using Melatonin. Some sleep aids have Diphenhydramine as the active ingredient and these give a noticable hang-over effect the following morning. For those with intractable insomnia, I suppose a Diphenhydramine product and a Melatonin product could be combined to give a turbo-charged sleeping pill. I have not tried this combination myself, but it should help anyone with chronic insomnia fall asleep.
