Ingredients explained
Melatonin
Melatonin interacts with brain receptors that regulate the sleep-wake cycle, helping signal the body that it is time to sleep.
Caution: May cause drowsiness; avoid driving or alcohol near bedtime because combined sedative effects can impair alertness.
Melatonin (sustained release delivery system)
Sustained-release melatonin gradually delivers melatonin over several hours to help maintain nighttime levels linked to sleep continuity.
Caution: Extended drowsiness may occur in the morning; take 30–60 minutes before bed to align with natural sleep timing.
Melotime (8-hour sustained release melatonin)
Melotime provides a timed release of melatonin over approximately 8 hours to help support staying asleep through the night.
Caution: If you feel groggy upon waking, consider adjusting timing or frequency to reduce residual effects.
How they work together
Immediate-release melatonin helps with sleep onset by quickly raising melatonin levels, while sustained-release forms extend melatonin availability through the night to support fewer awakenings. Combining both release profiles covers the transition into sleep and the maintenance of sleep duration.
