How it works
Melatonin is a hormone your body naturally produces to regulate your sleep-wake cycle. Think of it as a darkness signal for your brain — when levels rise in the evening, it tells your body it's time to prepare for sleep. This process supports healthy sleep onset and circadian rhythm [NIH ODS].
