Do you NEED melatonin to sleep better?
You might take melatonin to help you sleep or overcome a bout of temporary jet-lag. But melatonin is more than just a supplement at your corner drug store. Melatonin is a hormone naturally created by the pineal gland in the brain. When it gets dark outside, that is a cue to our brain to begin the process of producing melatonin. And when we are exposed to light in the morning, that cues our brain to turn off melatonin production.
But as sleep expert Dr. Michael Breus explains, there is more to this supplement than meets the eye. And many of us are taking way more melatonin than we need. Join Dr. Breus as he explains the best ways to take melatonin supplements, how much you need to take, and most importantly, what melatonin CAN’T do.
