Melatonin contributes to the reduction of time taken to fall asleep
Melatonin prepares an individual for falling asleep. The hormone decreases the body temperature and alertness which leads to typical sleepiness prior to falling asleep. Oral intake of melatonin has been found to be effective in alleviating to fall asleep that it is not due to any physical or psychological cause. In the elderly, too, melatonin alleviates to fall asleep, particularly in people whose melatonin production is low.
Melatonin alleviates subjective feelings of jet lag
Jet lag symptoms arise by the disturbance in the body’s internal clock when flying across at least four time zones. Typical jet lag feelings are tiredness, irritability, lack of concentration, fatigue and poor appetite. Flying eastward causes a longer jet lag than flying westward. Intake of melatonin during few days after the arrival at destination relieves symptoms and returns the body’s internal rhythm to normal.
Food supplement is not a substitution for a balanced and varied diet and healthy lifestyle.
