SHUIDIHAO Melatonin plays a key role in regulating the body’s sleep-wake cycle, with the brain producing more as it gets dark (at night) and less as it gets light (in the morning). While melatonin doesn’t make you go to sleep, it signals the body that it’s time to sleep, helping you relax and transition to slumber.

Melatonin should not directly affect your weight. However, if you are sleeping better, you may have more energy to exercise the next day, which can help contribute to weight control. Emerging research studies also show relationships between short sleep duration and higher total energy intake and lower quality diets, highlighting the importance of sleep and body weight regulation.

Melatonin needs vary, and we recommend starting with a low dose to find the right dose for you. If you find it hard to wake up after the recommended 7-9 hours of sleep, we recommend using a lower dose.

While rates of melatonin metabolism can vary in different people, our melatonin products are designed to support the recommended 7-9 hours of sleep. 

Although taking Melatonin can help you fall asleep and stay asleep, you may still find that you have difficulty sleeping. Healthy sleep habits such as not drinking alcohol or caffeine close to bedtime, keeping your bedroom cool and quiet, maintaining a consistent sleep schedule, avoiding blue light (such as that emitted by your computer, mobile phone, or other device), and incorporating stress management techniques such as yoga or deep breathing may also be beneficial. In addition, if you find yourself unable to sleep for over 20 minutes while in bed, try getting out of bed for a short time and doing something relaxing, in low light, to get your mind off of sleep before going back to bed. If your sleep issues continue, we recommend speaking with your healthcare practitioner.

Make sure you are practicing healthy sleep habits, such as not drinking alcohol or caffeine (coffee, teas, sodas, etc.) close to bedtime, keeping your bedroom cool and quiet, not exposing yourself to blue light from your electronics (computer, mobile phone, television, or other device), and stress management techniques such as yoga or deep breathing. If your sleep issues continue, we recommend speaking with your healthcare provider.

Dreams occur during the Rapid Eye Movement (REM) stage of sleep. When you are sleep-deprived and are getting less than optimal periods of REM sleep, you’ll experience a longer-than-usual period of REM sleep when allowed to get sufficient sleep—a phenomenon known as REM rebound. Longer periods of REM sleep following sleep deprivation can result in vivid dreams and are totally normal.
