How long does it take for melatonin to work?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Typically rapid: Melatonin is a relatively safe approach to assist with sleep. It may take a few days to find an appropriate dose, but once established, should work effectively. But over time, the dosage might need further adjustment, as tolerance may emerge.
