08. Melatonin
Key Points
- Melatonin appears to be an effective hypnotic that may be especially good for sleep disturbances associated with circadian disruptions (e.g., shift work and travel across time zones).
- Melatonin may be especially useful for children and the elderly for whom benzodiazepines may prove too sedating.
- Melatonin appears safe, and although some serious side effects have been reported, they are rare.
