Melatonin. It’s a hormone that our bodies make and release when it’s bedtime. For people having trouble getting to sleep, taking some supplemental melatonin has been shown (in randomized controlled clinical trials) to help. Children and adolescents have insomnia too. But because melatonin is sold over-the-counter as a dietary supplement rather than a drug, there is far less quality control. If you read the dose of a bottle of ibuprofen, it’s going to be accurate. Not so of dietary supplements.
