A melatonin supplement works on sleep in three ways:

• it helps regulate the sleep cycle;
• it helps you fall asleep faster;
• it improves some aspects of sleep quality.

In the body, naturally produced melatonin helps regulate the circadian rhythm, which includes the sleep cycle. The pineal gland releases it starting at nightfall to tell the body it will soon be time to sleep. Once melatonin peaks, around 2:00 or 3:00 a.m., the amount released drops to tell the body it's almost time to wake up.

Everyone naturally produces a different amount of melatonin, so needs vary from person to person. That's why it's essential to find the dose that's right for you. Dosage is key: too much melatonin can have the opposite effect and keep you from falling asleep. It's best to start with the lowest dose and increase it gradually until you find the one that works best for you.
