Can Melatonin Help You Sleep?

  • By Martin McPhilimey

Can Melatonin help you sleep? Is the question I get asked often, yet the answer is not quite that simple?

Of course, Melatonin is the hormone that helps us initiate sleep when it gets dark; however, simply taking Melatonin if you’re having problems with sleep may not be the correct answer.

I spent 10 years in the clinical field and have seen thousands of different patients with sleep issues; many would ask about Melatonin and whether it could help. 

Also, thank you to Gemma Douglas, who sent me a DM on Instagram asking whether I had any videos on taking Melatonin and inspiring me to create this content.

So here we are, back once again for an episode of the Performance Through Health podcast. In this episode, I discuss the science behind our circadian rhythms, the sleep-wake cycle and whether melatonin supplementation can help sleep.
