Sleepless nights are horrible, especially when you’ve got an early day tomorrow yet your mind’s still on overdrive 🌪️ A simple google search might recommend melatonin, but how effective is it, and how safe is it? 🤔

Simply put, melatonin is a hormone that helps you sleep. Though produced normally in bodies, it can also easily be affected by external factors like environment (too much light) or stimuli (using electronics). 📴 Consuming melatonin as a supplement before bedtime can thus help induce sleep.

A bunch of my friends have told me they’ve been too afraid to try melatonin - and tbh, I did too. Professionals still lack studies and research of long-term melatonin usage, so possible side effects are still unknown, but they’re generally still 100% safe for short-term usage! 👍🏼
A rule of thumb, though - definitely only take it when you need it! For me, I usually only take it when I have something important the next day that I have to wake up for, or when I end up still tossing and turning about at 3am in the morning after 4 hours in bed 💆🏻♀️

For the melatonins I’ve tried, it usually takes 30 mins for it to fully take effect and for me to fall asleep. Around 15 mins in I start feeling a little sleepier. Do note that melatonin (especially those in higher dosages) might result in drowsiness upon waking up!

I’ve tried 2 different melatonin supplements, and here’s my review of them 👇🏼
𝑴𝒐𝒐𝒎 𝑯𝒆𝒂𝒍𝒕𝒉’𝒔 𝑺𝒍𝒆𝒆𝒑𝒘𝒆𝒍𝒍
💲$43.90 for 45 (or $37.30/month for a 3 month commitment)
💊 $0.98 per capsule (or $0.83 per capsule for the subscription)
⭐️ 1.5mg melatonin, together with herbs (passiflora, valerian root, l-glutamine, and ziziphus)
🔗 purchase here
This was the first melatonin I tried, and it worked well for me! I liked that they incorporated more traditional herbs etc. (said to help promote the natural production of melatonin in the body). I did often feel a little drowsiness/sluggish-ness upon waking up when I ate these. I did a more in-depth post here 🍋
𝑶𝒍𝒍𝒚’𝒔 𝑺𝒍𝒆𝒆𝒑 𝑺𝒖𝒑𝒑𝒍𝒆𝒎𝒆𝒏𝒕𝒔
💲$25.90 for 50
💊 $0.52 per gummy
⭐️ 3mg melatonin, l-theanine (supports calmness, relaxation), botanicals (soothes and relaxes)
🔗 available at pharmacies, or purchase on shopee here
I just started on these, and I like them a lot! More affordable than the Moom ones, and they’re more palatable. I like the gummy texture (tastes like a chewier and softer version of bubble tea pearls 🧋), with a yummy blackcurrant taste. Do ensure that these are kept in a cool, dry area though - I’ve seen tiktoks of them melting together into one giant slab .. which is… not ideal 😰😰😰
Olly also produces Immunity Sleep, Extra Strength Sleep and Muscle Recovery Sleep versions - packed full with different supplements that might be something you wanna look into!

Melatonin has been my lifesaver, and will definitely come in handy on travels (on flights, jetlag). Please exercise discretion during consumption though! 🙌🏼
