Melatonin

Melatonin has a calming effect and can help you to sleep regardless of where you are—a hotel, a plane flight, or your own home. It's an effective sleep aid that comes in two strengths depending on your needs: 2.5mg and 5mg. Many people experience Melatonin naturally when daylight wanes as the body produces less natural Melatonin. However, life is hectic, and it's difficult to be mindful of when you should be naturally producing this hormone.

In addition to its function as a sleep aid, Melatonin also helps to reduce stress and regulate circadian, or biological rhythms. Since it's an amino acid, it allows your body to produce substances called neurotransmitters that keep your moods balanced. If you have trouble sleeping, try the natural supplement containing Melatonin in the evening before bed.
