Melatonin is a hormone produced naturally by the pineal gland in the brain. It plays a crucial role in regulating the sleep-wake cycle, also known as the circadian rhythm. Melatonin levels typically rise in the evening, signalling to the body that it’s time to sleep, and decrease in the morning, promoting wakefulness. In addition to its role in sleep regulation, melatonin also functions as a powerful antioxidant, helping to protect cells from damage caused by free radicals.

Melatonin is commonly used as a sleep aid to improve sleep quality and alleviate symptoms of insomnia. By taking melatonin as a supplement, individuals who have difficulty falling asleep or maintaining sleep can help regulate their sleep-wake cycle and promote better sleep.

Melatonin can be used to alleviate the symptoms of jet lag, a temporary disruption of the sleep-wake cycle that occurs when travelling across multiple time zones. It can also be beneficial for individuals who work night shifts or irregular hours, helping them adjust their sleep patterns to align with their work schedules.

The mode of action of melatonin involves interacting with specific receptors in the brain. Melatonin binds to melatonin receptors, particularly the MT1 and MT2 receptors, which are located in the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) of the hypothalamus. The SCN is the primary regulator of the circadian rhythm. By binding to these receptors, melatonin helps to synchronise the internal body clock with the natural light-dark cycle, promoting sleep at the appropriate times.
