Benefits of MelatoninThere appears to be many benefits of melatonin, but the naturally occurring hormone seems to be most effective in treating sleep disorders. It plays an important role in the circadian rhythm, which regulates sleeping, waking, and other functions. Research suggests that there may be other benefits of melatonin; the supplement may some day be used as a sunscreen or form of birth control.
