A little Extra Sleeping Help - Melatonin

In my earlier post, I listed my top five habits that help me sleep better at night. But what if you still can't sleep? Then, its time for some melatonin.



What is melatonin? Melatonin is a natural, non-addicting hormone supplement that assists with sleep. In fact, it is naturally produced by the brain and is the hormone that tells the body it is night time and time to sleep.

Millions of people in the United States take it in order to get a good night’s sleep. Melatonin is particularly helpful if you're suffering from jet-lag, take a long time to sleep or above 60. As you age, your body produces less melatonin so you may need to take supplements to help you sleep better.

Take 0.3mg - 1mg about an hour before bedtime and you'll be sleeping like a baby.

If you've taken melatonin before, i'd like to hear from you what your experience on it was!
