Melatonin Imbalance

Melatonin imbalance refers to an irregular production of melatonin, a hormone produced by the pineal gland that helps regulate sleep-wake cycles. This imbalance can lead to sleep disorders, insomnia, and disrupted circadian rhythms. Factors such as stress, artificial light exposure at night, and irregular sleep schedules can affect melatonin levels. When melatonin is too low, it may be difficult to fall asleep, while high levels during the day can cause daytime sleepiness. Managing factors like exposure to natural light and maintaining a regular sleep routine can help restore balance to melatonin levels.
