Studies have found abnormalities in the physiology of melatonin and circadian rhythm in people with autism spectrum disorders (ASD). [94] These physiological abnormalities include lower concentrations of melatonin or melatonin metabolites in ASDs compared to controls. [95]
In addition, Rossignol and Richard E. Frye teamed up to conduct a meta-analysis on the efficacy of melatonin supplements as a treatment for autism. They published their findings in 2011, and while they concluded that it is associated with "improved sleep parameters, better daytime behavior, and minimal side effects," they also called for more ...
Melatonin may be useful in the treatment of delayed sleep phase syndrome. [9] Melatonin is known to reduce jet lag, especially in eastward travel. However, if it is not taken at the correct time, it can instead delay adaptation. [30] Melatonin appears to have limited use against the sleep problems of people who work shift work. [31]
Lights from screen displays can also impact sleep, disrupting melatonin release and the body’s circadian rhythm. Ditching the screen can also allow more time for activities that improve your ...
A January 2022 study published in the National Library of Medicine finds that melatonin positively affects our quality of sleep. But a study published the same year in Journal of the American ...
A study published by the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) in April 2023 found that only 12% of the 30 melatonin gummy product preparations analyzed had melatonin quantities within ±10% of the amounts specified on their labels. Some gummy supplements were found to contain up to 347% of the declared melatonin content.
A 2013 literature review found 20 studies that reported improvements in sleep parameters as a result of melatonin supplementation, and concluded that "the administration of exogenous melatonin for abnormal sleep parameters in ASD is evidence-based." [189]
