Fact Sheet: Melatonin. Melatonin is a hormone that helps you fall asleep. It has been taken for years as a supplement to assist with sleep; however, some doctors suggest that we are sabotaging our sleep by overusing it. Posted on 9/24/2012.
Melatonin is a natural hormone produced in the pineal gland. It is believed that melatonin helps to regulate the internal clock in your body, the circadian rhythum. It is most helpful for those suffering sleep problems related to jet lag or shift-work disorder.ell before menopause is on the horizon, melatonin (the natural chemical that regulates our internal clocks to help us fall asleep at night) is already starting to decline and dip with your menstrual cycle. As you grow older it continues to slow production, making it harder and harder to fall asleep.
