How Can Melatonin Be Used to Help Sleep?
Discussion
Sleep is regulated by the homeostatic sleep drive and the circadian system which controls periods of activity and inactivity throughout the day. The circadian rhythm is slightly longer than 24 hours in humans and is controlled by the hypothalmic suprachiasmatic nucleus. When the circadian system and the external environment are misaligned, such that sleep occurs outside of normal times, a circadian rhythm sleep disorder can occur.
Everyone experiences disturbances of sleep throughout their lifetime. During adolescence, there is a normal physiologic change so that there is a shift to a later sleep phase for adol...
