I used to know someone who was on melatonin on prescription to help him sleep, said it worked well.
Easy to get the same effect though by drinking warm milk before bed.
“Milk is an excellent source of tryptophan, an amino acid that promotes relaxation and sleepiness and from which melatonin is synthesized,” reveals Reitmayer. “Studies have shown that consuming milk before bed can help with sleep due to these high levels of tryptophan and melatonin.”
