Melatonin is not an insomnia cure,” Grandner emphasized. “The main reasons regular people find it hard to sleep — tossing and turning, ruminating in bed — will not be affected by melatonin.” He suggested that the vast majority of people who struggle to fall asleep would be better served by establishing a consistent routine, practicing good sleep hygiene in the bedroom and getting lots of daytime light exposure.

And for those who do continue to use melatonin, he said to be mindful of the dosage. “A little nudge is as effective as a big push,” he said.
