Falling asleep shouldn't be a nightly struggle. However, many people experience difficulty falling asleep, even when they're tired. Stress, excessive artificial light, changes in schedule, or disruptions in routine can affect the natural sleep cycle. This is where melatonin becomes a safe and effective ally.

What is melatonin and why is it so important?

Melatonin is a hormone produced by our body, primarily in the pineal gland, in response to darkness. Its main function is to regulate the circadian rhythm: the biological clock that tells us when to sleep and when to wake up.

As night falls, melatonin production increases, helping to prepare the body for rest: it lowers body temperature, reduces blood pressure, and promotes drowsiness.

Factors that reduce natural melatonin

Although the body produces it naturally, various factors can interfere with its synthesis:

• Exposure to blue light (screens) at night.
• Jet lag or night work.
• Stress.
• Aging: Over the years, the endogenous production of melatonin decreases.

When this happens, falling asleep can become a constant challenge.

Melatonin as a supplement: science and safety

The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) confirms that melatonin helps reduce the time it takes to fall asleep . This means that, when administered in appropriate doses, its effectiveness is supported by scientific evidence.

Clinical studies have shown that a low dose (between 0.5 and 2 mg) taken 30 minutes before bedtime can help to:

• Reduce the time it takes us to fall asleep.
• No dependency effects.
• Without interfering with the natural architecture of sleep.

How to take it effectively?

For melatonin to work properly, it should be accompanied by good habits:

• Always take it at the same time (ideally 30 minutes before going to bed).
• Turn off screens at least one hour before.
• Create a sleep routine: warm bath, reading, dim light.

This synergistic approach enhances the effect of melatonin and helps to restore the natural sleep cycle.
