Melatonin is a natural hormone found in the body that is produced by the pineal gland in our brain. Melatonin facilitates sleep and regulates our biological clock. Taken as a supplement, it may be beneficial in promoting restful sleep, in cases where low melatonin levels are a factor. Cyclical changes of the levels of melatonin in our body correspond to the cycles of night and day. The highest melatonin levels are produced in darkness or at night, and higher levels trigger sleep. Thus travelers and night-shift workers that have their day and night cycles interrupted often experience sleep difficulties. As we age, the body produces less melatonin. This is one of the factors contributing to difficulty sleeping in advancing age.
