If you've been taking melatonin for months — or longer — and sleep is still unreliable, the issue is unlikely to be the brand or the dose. Melatonin addresses a specific mechanism, and when the underlying cause of poor sleep sits elsewhere, it tends to run in the background without doing much — while making that underlying cause harder to identify over time. This video lays out what that mechanism is, where it applies, and where it doesn't.

In this video, you'll learn:

Why most adults with sleep complaints have intact melatonin production — and what that means for whether a supplement is likely to help

• How aging affects melatonin production, and why the "older means less melatonin" picture is more nuanced than that

• What DLMO is and why taking melatonin at the wrong point in your internal light-dark cycle can undermine rather than support sleep onset

• The situations in my work where melatonin has been the right recommendation, and what distinguished those cases
