Melatonin

What people use melatonin for

• Falling asleep sooner — melatonin can help shorten the time it takes to drift off, especially when your schedule is off.
• Jet lag — it’s a common travel companion for re-setting your internal clock when crossing time zones.
• Shift work and irregular hours — helps signal to your body that it’s time to wind down when your schedule doesn’t match the sun.
• A gentler first step — many people reach for it before stronger sleep aids.

How to choose a melatonin

• Dose — many people start low (1–3 mg) and only go higher if needed; the lowest amount that works is the usual approach. Strengths here run up to 10 mg.
• Format — sprays, sublinguals, and gummies absorb quickly; capsules and tablets are simple and travel well.
• Timed or dual release — designed to release melatonin gradually to help you stay asleep through the night, rather than all at once.
• Fast-acting — sublinguals and sprays are popular when you want it to kick in quickly.
• Lifestyle fit — sugar-free, vegan, and combo formulas (with magnesium, B6, or tart cherry) are available if those matter to you.

A quick note on safety

Melatonin is generally well tolerated. Some people notice mild drowsiness, headaches, or vivid dreams. Take it close to bedtime and don’t drive after. If you’re pregnant, taking medication, or managing a health condition, check with your healthcare provider first — and if sleep troubles stick around, it’s worth talking to them.
