The chemical name for melatonin is 5-methoxy-N-acetyltryptamine. Animals produce small amounts of melatonin on their own. It is produced by the pineal gland. More melatonin is produced when you are exposed to darkness, and less is produced when you are exposed to light. Melatonin is known for helping you fall asleep, but it can be used for other reasons.
