Melatonin and Sleep Regulation

Melatonin is a hormone produced by the brain, particularly in response to darkness. It helps regulate the sleep-wake cycle, signaling your body that it's time to sleep as levels rise in the evening. Light exposure, especially from screens, can suppress melatonin production, making it harder to fall asleep. By maintaining a consistent sleep schedule and creating a dark environment at night, you can support your natural melatonin production. This helps promote better sleep quality and overall well-being. Melatonin supplements are also available but should be used cautiously and ideally under the guidance of a healthcare professional.
