What are the Melatonin Sleep Aid Side Effects?
Melatonin is a naturally occurring hormone that controls human sleep. Melatonin is available over the counter and is the most studied dietary sleep aid. Melatonin may help a person fall asleep faster and possibly remain asleep longer. There are no consistent standards regarding the dose of melatonin, but research suggests that 0.3 mg may be the most effective dosage for people using it as a sleep aid. Intensity of side effects may be dose related.
