Melatonin is no 'magic pill'
Ahmedabad Mirror|January 14, 2025
Experts believe relying on the supplement is a bad idea. Perhaps opting for sleep hygiene is better

When 35-year-old Shruti Nagpal from Noida faced sleep issues, she tried 'melatonin gummies' on an experimental basis. "They helped soothe my mind and eventually helped me sleep. I spoke to my doctor, who prescribed them for me as an experiment," said Nagpal, a media professional. However, melatonin isn't the quick fix. Experts advise against relying on the popular supplement and suggest concentrating on "sleep hygiene", which includes keeping a regular bedtime, relaxing your mind, staying active, and avoiding screens or devices at least an hour before sleep.

Melatonin, available in various forms like gummies, pills, and liquid, has become a go-to for many with sleep problems. For the unversed, the supplement is a synthetic version of the hormone produced naturally by the pineal gland in the brain that helps regulate sleep-wake cycles.

Several health experts caution that while the supplement may seem like a safer choice, it is no 'magic pill'. They recommend that individuals struggling with sleep issues consult a psychiatrist or undergo psychotherapy, including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), before turning to melatonin supplements.
