Some people may experience dizziness, headaches, or vivid dreams when taking melatonin supplements.

Melatonin is not habit-forming, but that doesn’t mean it’s ideal for nightly, long-term use for everyone. Here’s why:

• Melatonin tells your body it’s time for sleep, but it doesn’t “make” you sleep the way a sedative does. If you take it nightly without addressing the reasons for your sleep disturbance (such as stress, screen time, caffeine, or light exposure), you may be using it as a short-term solution instead of addressing the underlying issue.
• If used excessively, melatonin may affect the body’s natural rhythm or lead to reduced effectiveness over time, but further research is needed.
• Relying on melatonin nightly without addressing the underlying sleep issues may delay the diagnosis of more serious sleep problems (like insomnia, sleep apnea, anxiety, or circadian rhythm disorders) that need medical attention.
• Older people (melatonin levels drop with age), shift workers, or those with delayed sleep phase disorder may benefit from regular use — but ideally under guidance from their physician or health care provider.

Melatonin is generally considered safe for short-term and occasional use. Talk with your physician if you plan to take it nightly.

Melatonin is a naturally occurring hormone that helps regulate the body’s internal clock and sleep-wake cycles†. It signals your body that it’s time to rest.

Melatonin isn’t a sedative — it’s a chronobiotic, meaning it signals to the body that it’s time to start winding down. It works with your circadian rhythm†, so timing is key. Taking it earlier gives your body time to recognize the signal and begin releasing its own sleep-promoting compounds.

Studies suggest that low-dose melatonin (~0.3–1 mg) taken 1–2 hours before bedtime can help ease the process of falling asleep† and support overall sleep quality†. This timing

gives your body the signal it needs to begin releasing its own sleep-promoting compounds.

Melatonin may also be useful when adjusting to travel, schedule changes, or other disruptions†.
