A doctor has provided 1 answer
Melatonin : The usual dose range of melatonin is from 3 mg to 10 mg to be taken at bedtime to help regulate the cycle of sleep. Melatonin is a natural substance that is secreted by the pineal gland in the brain. This hormone helps to regulate the cycle of sleep on a daily basis. Higher doses than 10 mg may not be any more effective.
