    Can melatonin really help you sleep better?
    Research is ongoing. But we do know that taking melatonin for short periods of time — meaning days or weeks — is better than a placebo for sleep onset insomnia, or difficulty initially falling asleep. Melatonin supplements may improve your sleep if you have disrupted circadian rhythms (from jet lag or working the night shift, for example).

    What is the optimal dosage of melatonin?
    Research has found that taking melatonin in low doses is the most effective way to promote sleep if you are experiencing restlessness or insomnia. Recommended doses of melatonin are from 0.5 mg up to 3 mg, which are adequate to promote sleep or treat jet lag. When melatonin is used at higher doses, it tends to increase daytime sleepiness.
