What Experts Say
Melatonin is a hormone the body produces naturally to regulate the sleep wake cycle. Supplementing it can help when natural production is disrupted by late night screen use, irregular routines or travel across time zones.
Doctors across Pakistan have noted rising awareness of sleep disorders in recent years and often suggest melatonin as a short term option for occasional sleep trouble. Chronic or long standing insomnia still needs proper evaluation instead of relying on a supplement alone.
