Melatonin improves sleep apnea outcomesEffect of melatonin on insomnia and daytime sleepiness, in patients with obstructive sleep apnea and insomnia (COMISA): A randomized double-blinded placebo-controlled trial.
We investigated how melatonin affects patients with obstructive sleep apnea and insomnia. In a double-blind trial, thirty patients received either 10 mg of melatonin or a placebo for a month.
The results were striking; those taking melatonin reported better sleep quality, less daytime sleepiness, and greater adherence to their PAP devices. Improvements were noted across several assessments: the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, Insomnia Severity Index, Epworth Sleepiness Scale, and Functional Outcomes of Sleep Questionnaire showed significant gains for the melatonin group.
Thus, melatonin appears to be a promising option to enhance sleep quality and treatment compliance in this challenging patient group.

Long live melatonin! It, along with GABA, has been my foundation for half a year and has made me feel like a new person! Only those who have grappled with sleep issues for years will understand my joy. For nearly twenty years, I struggled to sleep as well as I do now! The price of "Melaxen", which contains melatonin, in our pharmacies is so high that it’s hard to feel relaxed about buying it. Do not enrich our pharmacy hucksters, buy here! I duplicated my review on Melatonin from Now because both work perfectly for me and provide excellent sleep.
