Melatonin improves sleep apnea outcomes
Effect of melatonin on insomnia and daytime sleepiness, in patients with obstructive sleep apnea and insomnia (COMISA): A randomized double-blinded placebo-controlled trial.
Relevant and promising findings
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.

Agomelatine shows promise for OSA
Evaluating the Effects of Agomelatine on Polysomnography Parameters in Patients with Obstructive Sleep Apnea.
Moderate relevance to sleep therapies.
We conducted a study to see if agomelatine, a melatonin-based drug, could help patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). In this randomized and single-blind trial, seventy adults took either agomelatine or a placebo for three nights before sleep testing.

The results showed that agomelatine improved total sleep time, sleep efficiency, and reduced waking percentage compared to the control group. However, other sleep parameters did not show significant changes. Overall, agomelatine may be beneficial for those struggling with OSA.

Melatonin's role in sleep apnea
Melatonin mediates intestinal barrier dysfunction and systemic inflammation in moderate-severe OSA patients.
Significance of melatonin in OSA
We explored how melatonin, known for its anti-inflammatory properties, interacts with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and related health issues.

In a study of 235 men experiencing sleep problems, we found that higher OSA severity correlated with lower melatonin levels and increased markers of intestinal barrier dysfunction and inflammation.

Melatonin appeared to mediate these relationships, explaining a significant portion of the connection between apnea severity and these harmful conditions. However, the overall results suggest that while melatonin is connected to inflammation and intestinal issues in OSA, it does not appear to solve these complications.

Improved bedtime routine
This has transformed our evening routine. After four years of struggles with bedtimes, my son now asks to go to bed and sleeps well after just a week of use. This brand is well-supported, and I followed my GP’s advice in giving it to my child.

Magic tablet
I call this the magic pill! My toddler, who usually struggles to settle at night, fell asleep within 30 minutes of taking it. It was a remarkable change; I wish I had tried this sooner to help with sleep apnea.

Helpful for sleep
Good, I’m an adult. Sometimes I wake around 4am, and I take this to help me go back to sleep. It’s particularly appreciated as I cannot work effectively if I’m not sleeping well during the week. I also like that it doesn’t contain any chemicals!

REM Sleep Behavior Disorder Overview
REM sleep behavior disorder as a complex condition with heterogeneous underlying disorders: clinical management and prognostic implications [Commentary].
Highly relevant clinical insights
We explored REM sleep behavior disorder (RBD) as a complex condition that can be linked to a variety of underlying disorders. Through a literature review and insights from foundational texts, we recognized that RBD may emerge at any age and can initially appear as an isolated issue or be associated with other significant conditions like Parkinson’s and narcolepsy.

Our findings highlighted that effective management often includes melatonin or clonazepam as treatment options. Furthermore, ongoing research into the connections between RBD and other sleep disorders, such as obstructive sleep apnea, remains vital for enhancing diagnostics and treatment strategies.

This works wonders for my children. After daylight saving adjustments, it helped us return to reasonable bedtimes and healthy sleeping habits. They particularly enjoy the strawberry flavour!

We were all exhausted due to restless sleep in our child. After starting this melatonin, the child now sleeps soundly, allowing our whole family to feel more rested in the mornings. We are all much happier!
