PRINCE GEORGE – An increasing number of Canadians are turning to melatonin as a natural solution to improve their sleep, and health experts suggest it can be an effective tool when used properly.

Melatonin is a hormone that our bodies naturally produce to signal that it’s time to sleep. Taking a small supplement can be particularly beneficial for resetting sleep patterns, especially for shift workers, travellers, or anyone facing occasional sleepless nights.

However, the evidence regarding its effectiveness is still somewhat inconclusive.

Over-the-counter options without melatonin are limited.
