Overview: Melatonin is a hormone found in the human body that that helps regulate other hormones and maintain the body’s circadian rhythm. The circadian rhythm is an internal 24-hour clock that plays a critical role in the body’s sleep-wake cycle. Normally, the production of melatonin is inhibited by light and enhanced by darkness. Being exposed to bright lights in the evening or too little light during the day can disrupt the body’s normal melatonin cycles. MapleLife’s Melatonin will help increase the total sleep time and the quality of sleep in people suffering from sleep restriction and insomnia.
