Sleep Disorders and Other Conditions Related to Abnormal Production of Melatonin.

The pineal hormone, melatonin, is a simple derivative of tryptophan and serotonin. Tryptophan is converted to serotonin, which is eventually converted to melatonin.

Endogenous melatonin is synthesized and released in response to light and dark on the retina. Its secretion is inhibited by bright light. It has also been suggested that chronic exposure to electromagnetic fields may suppress melatonin production.

Accumulating data supports the use of melatonin supplements for:

• Patients with insomnia, phase-delay or other sleep disturbances.
• Shift workers or others who are exposed to light at night.
• Jet-lagged travelers.
• Those who are occupationally exposed to electromagnetic fields.
• Women at high risk for breast cancer.
• Patients with Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD).
