Take melatonin 1 to 2 hours before going to bed.

Exposure to bright or blue light from screens in the evening can suppress the production of melatonin. A dark environment supports the natural rhythm.

Melatonin is often used for a short period, for example when traveling far or for temporary need. If you use it for a longer period, always consult an expert.

Synthetic melatonin is made in a laboratory and is standard in supplements; natural melatonin from animal sources is rarely used.

Small amounts of melatonin are naturally found in, among other things, cherries and grains.
