Melatonin Gummies
Sleep comfortably through the night with melatonin gummies from the CVS online store. These tasty gummies make it easier for you to fall asleep without swallowing capsules or tablets, offering a more convenient way to manage occasional insomnia.
Do Melatonin Gummies Help With Falling Asleep?
Melatonin is a sleep hormone your body releases in response to changes in light levels. Artificial light sources, such as ceiling lamps, televisions and phone screens, can prevent your body from releasing sufficient amounts of it to encourage sleep. If you spend a lot of time in front of a computer or phone late at night, you may not have enough melatonin to sleep peacefully, and melatonin gummies may be an ideal way to get better rest.
Melatonin is effective for many people and may help even if you have normal levels or avoid light exposure at night. It usually causes fewer side effects than prescription sleep aids and may work well with other relaxing supplements, such as magnesium or valerian root.
How Many Melatonin Gummies Should I Take?
The number of melatonin gummies you should take depends on the dosage. Read the product packaging carefully to determine how many milligrams of melatonin are in each gummy. Most adults should take between 1 to 2 milligrams each night, and gradually work their way up to around 5 milligrams. More than 10 milligrams per night is not generally recommended, but consult with your doctor so you can determine the best options for your needs.
Is It Okay To Take Melatonin Gummies Every Night?
Your body produces melatonin every day, and supplements don't seem to be harmful when taken for long periods. However, it's unclear whether your body may become desensitized to the effects if taken frequently. Limiting your use to a few times a week may help keep melatonin gummies effective over the long term.
See your doctor if you need to take melatonin, Unisom or other over-the-counter sleep aids more often than usual or if these products don't improve your insomnia. Thyroid disease and other conditions can sometimes cause trouble sleeping, and your doctor may be able to treat these underlying conditions to help you sleep easier.
Are Melatonin Gummies Safe To Take?
Compared to most other sleep aids, melatonin gummies' side effects are minimal, and the product is suitable for most people, including children. Melatonin gummies for kids, such as Natrol Kids Melatonin Gummies and Nature Made Kids First Sleep, contain a lower dose of melatonin to help your little ones sleep better. These products are less likely to lead to morning grogginess that could affect focus at school the next day.
Adults who need more effective relief from insomnia may consider high-dose products, such as Nature's Truth Extra Strength, as even these potent products are very gentle. Side effects may include mild morning fatigue, sleepiness and fogginess that usually dissipate quickly after a few hours, leaving you refreshed and ready to take on the day.
