Get A Good Night's Sleep With Melatonin By BrookeTx on Aug 01, 2008 - Updated Sep 18, 2011

I have a horrible sleeping pattern and have tried many prescription medications to help me sleep better. I then heard about Melatonin which is a natural supplement. This supplement is used for numerous conditions, but is most noticed for its regulation of sleep patterns.

Melatonin can help you fall asleep faster and decrease the number of times you wake up a night. Melatonin is a substance your body naturally makes; however some of us mind need that extra help.

I take one pill about thirty minutes before bed time. Since taking this medication, I have noticed that I sleep better and am not as restless when I do sleep. I wake up feeling more refreshed and have more energy.

As always consult your doctor before taking. It might be worth mentioning to your doctor if you have trouble sleeping though.
