Put Mix-Ups With Melatonin to Rest

March 2022

Patients will continue to ask about melatonin for insomnia...as a "natural" option for sleepless nights.

Melatonin may be worth a try when sleep hygiene (limiting screen time at night, avoiding caffeine before bed, etc) isn't enough.

And it often makes sense for older patients to try melatonin instead of Rx sleep meds (zolpidem, etc)...which are associated with falls, confusion, and other problems.
