Melatonin is considered to be a master hormone. This means that we must get our melatonin balanced if we want our other hormones to be balanced in order to better deal with the changes that come from perimenopause and menopause.

So how is best to take it? Are pills bad if taken nightly?
Interesting 🤔

You don’t need to take it. It is best to create is naturally by waking up and getting sunrise sunlight into your eyes and then protecting your eyes from artificial light at night (this allows your cortisol to drop which allows your melatonin to Rise)
Is it bad to take it? Pretend I've been doing the sunrise thing for a long time but also taking it at night. Also pretend I'm a combat veteran with PTSD that keeps me up at night. 😂
The goal is to not have to take it exogenously. But everyone is an N=1.
Right, but is it ok to take? Does it do harm?
The more you take on your own the more you suppress your ability to make on your own. Start by getting some high quality night time blue blocking glasses. I like RaOptics
My son sometimes uses sleeping melatonin
