How Melatonin Can Help With Sleep
Getting a good night’s sleep is essential to maintaining our overall health and wellness. In fact, not getting enough sleep for long periods can raise your risk of chronic (long-term) health problems. These include heart disease, kidney disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, obesity, and depression.1
Tips to Getting Better Sleep
- Stick to Your Sleep Schedule - you already know what your daily routine is. So aim to always be in bed at a time that ensures you get at least 7-8 hours of sleep every night. Following a consistent bedtime reinforces your body’s natural sleep cycles.
- Aim to Sleep Within 20 Minutes of Lying Down - if you don’t fall asleep within this time period, leave your bedroom and do something relaxing like reading or listening to soothing music. Then, go back to bed when you feel tired.
- Create a Restful Environment - Aim to keep your room cool, quiet and dark. Light can interfere with your body’s ability to sleep, so avoid using screens before bedtime. You can also do some light stretches to relax your muscles before lying down
- Take a Sleeping Aid - for occasional sleeplessness, natural sleeping aids like Melatonin can help you get a restful sleep.
What is Melatonin, and When Should I Take It?
Melatonin is a naturally occurring hormone that your brain produces in response to darkness. It helps with the timing of circadian rhythms, and with inducing sleep.2 Melatonin supplements are often made synthetically, but work as well as the hormone the body produces. They are used to help with certain conditions that make sleeping difficult, such as jet lag, delayed sleep-wake phase disorder, and anxiety before or after surgery.
Benefits of Taking Melatonin Over Other Sleep Aids
- They are unlikely to cause dependency
- They do not usually cause feelings of sluggishness or fogginess upon waking up, as a dose is out of your body within 5 hours
- Melatonin supplements have been widely used and tested for years, and considered safe for general use
In some cases, melatonin may interact with some medications. For people with these concerns, it is best to consult a doctor before taking melatonin.
When Melatonin Starts Working
It’s recommended to take it an hour before going to sleep, to help it bolster your
natural melatonin production. When taken in conjunction with good sleeping habits, it can help give you
the best chance for a restful night’s sleep.
