Melatonin is an endogenous hormone that is produced in the pineal gland (epiphysis) in the brain. Darkness in particular stimulates melatonin production. Since melatonin controls sleep, among other things, it is also called the sleep hormone. If the day-night rhythm is out of balance, for example due to jet lag, it may be useful to take melatonin.
Although Melatonin is a natural hormone, it can have quite a strong effect and so can have side effects and does not suit everyone. It is better to support your body to change rather than to force it to change and Melatonin is on the border between support and force. Because of this strong effect we would not recommend that you use it continually, or at all. But obviously you have to take into account the distress caused by sleeplessness and it may be useful for a temporary sleep problem such as for jet lag or to break a habit of sleeplessness. This sleep spray also contains passiflora, a herb that supports sleep.
