A member asked:

Hi doctors, why do i always wake up with dark eye rings only when i take melatonin/zopiclone before bed? i dont have them when i dont take them.

Dr. Stan Coleman answered

Melatonin: Melatonin can activate pigment cells around the eyes. Only harm is purely cosmetic.

Dr Finley-Belgrad and another doctor agreed
