My daughter mentioned on Facebook how she was having a tough time sleeping at night. A friend suggested she try melatonin, an over-the-counter supplement that resets our internal clocks. It is used to reduce jet lag and insomnia.
This is exactly what I would have done for a friend with a problem: I would have recommended a solution.
Now that I have said that, here are a few possible side effects of melatonin:
- headaches
- nausea
- depression
- nightmares
- irritability
- abdominal cramps
- dizziness.
There are better ways to fall asleep than just putting drugs in our bodies, such as light meditation for relaxation, warm milk or a walk an hour before bedtime.
It's always better to try natural remedies first before putting drugs in your body.
And word to the wise: don't approach these powerful supplements without first consulting a medical professional. Just because they're "natural," "herbal" or "homeopathic" doesn't mean they're not powerful or that interactions with something as simple as aspirin can't be dangerous.
