Melatonin is a hormone naturally produced by the pineal gland in the brain, primarily responsible for regulating sleep-wake cycles (circadian rhythms). It is also available as a dietary supplement, often used to help with sleep disturbances like insomnia or jet lag, though proper dosing is crucial.
Melatonin is that a solution? No, it can be a tool in the toolkit. Most of the time, you know, most people are taking too high a dose of melatonin, which is actually doing more harm than good.

"Melatonin was discussed as a potential 'tool in the toolkit' for sleep, but with strong caveats. Speakers warned against taking 'too high a dose,' which can 'shutting off part of the brain to be able to help control their circadian rhythm' and lead to dependence. Low doses (e.g., 1mg) were suggested, often requiring a 'children's melatonin' product."
