Stay Well: Will taking a melatonin supplement improve my sleep?
Briefly

Melatonin is a hormone associated with regulating sleep cycles and can be taken as a synthetic supplement for improving sleep quality. It is usually needed for short-term use.
The growing popularity of melatonin supplements points to an increasing public awareness about sleep health, but it's important to consult health care providers before using it.
While effective in some cases, melatonin supplements should not replace proper sleep hygiene and healthy lifestyle choices that contribute to natural sleep patterns.
Synthetic melatonin can assist with sleep onset and maintenance, especially during times of irregular sleep schedule, such as jet lag or shift work.
