Melatonin improves sleep apnea outcomes
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.

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.

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.

My son's Autism teacher mentioned melatonin when my child was three. Logan was staying up all night and would only fall asleep when it was time for school. I was at my wits' end! After trying Source Naturals, Melatonin, orange-flavoured tablets, I was saved from Truancy Court. Now my child sleeps like an angel.

Reliable for all ages
The best melatonin! I always buy these; I've never had an issue. My 13-year-old daughter takes them as recommended by her paediatrician, and she loves the flavour too. They work well in helping her to fall asleep. I also take these; they help me to sleep perfectly.

REM Sleep Behavior Disorder Overview
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.

Less night waking
I have been using the product for about six weeks now. I noticed that within the first week, I wasn't waking up as many times per night—previously 6-7 times, now only 1-2 times. I feel less tired in the morning, and I've maintained good sleep quality. I would recommend this product to others seeking to improve their sleep.

Economical choice
The large package of 200 tablets is very economical. The 5 mcg dose is just right for me, helping me to fall and maintain a good night's sleep, leaving me refreshed without any hangover or drowsiness. I've recommended them to friends with sleep issues who want to try natural methods.
