Melatonin is a hormone produced naturally in the brain's pineal gland. It is produced as a response to darkness. Therefore, melatonin can help you regulate your circadian rhythm to coordinate with your sleep-wake cycle.

Melatonin that's produced in our body is called endogenous melatonin. What a lot of people don’t know is that melatonin is also produced externally. It's called exogenous melatonin and is made synthetically in a lab in the form of a chewable or a capsule to help people regulate their sleep cycle.

TAL'S Sweeter Dreams Hemp-derived THC Free CBD and Melatonin Capsules contain exogenous melatonin that can help you get back into a habit of falling asleep easily.

Can Melatonin Improve Sleep?

Melatonin in Adults

Research shows that melatonin comes with potential benefits for people going through sleeping problems like jet lag and DSWPD (Delayed Sleep-Wake Phase Disorder).

When experiencing jet lag, our body clock gets misaligned with the day-night cycle. Research shows that exogenous melatonin supplements can help a person reset their body clock and improve their sleep-wake cycle.

DSWPD is a disorder where a person's sleep timings are shifted by a few hours. If the individual has other obligations like school or work, it becomes harder to get enough sleep. Research shows that consuming low dosage of melatonin can help these people fall asleep easily.

Melatonin has very few and negligible side effects. Although further research is required in this area, individuals with sleeping disorders are motivated to try it. The best way to go about this route is to consult your doctor before consuming melatonin.

Melatonin in Children

Melatonin works better for children, but sleep experts believe that there needs to be more research to fully understand the optimal use of this exogenous hormone.

Different studies have concluded that melatonin may be beneficial for children who find it hard to fall asleep quickly. It can also increase their sleep time. According to the American Academy of Pediatrics, melatonin is a beneficial short-term tool to help children establish healthy sleeping habits.

As some uncertainties remain regarding the use and risks of melatonin for children, parents should consult pediatricians before using melatonin supplements.

Appropriate Dose of Melatonin

The optimal dosage for melatonin has not been established yet. However, most of the studies conducted for melatonin use dosages between 0.1 to 12 mg. Usually, a single dosage contains 1 to 5 mg. Still, the dosage should depend on the person's age and sleep issues.

According to the American Academy of Pediatrics, children should not be given a dosage over 6 mg. It's because they respond to dosage as low as 1 to 3 mg very well.
