It's a good medication which can be taken if the atmosphere supportive but if there is noise in surrounding then it will be an issue. Melatonin is a physiological hormone and it helps induce natural sleep when environment is supportive like there should be darkness in the room, no mobile phone use, silence etc. You can still try taking it but then also use some music that would help you sleep. I also provide online consultations and therapy. So if you want further information contact me directly on nine eight two six five four five six six zero.

Melatonin extended release is definitely good for your sleep. While melatonin as such may not cause problems with memory, some studies actually show that it is helpful in improving it. However the problem with memory may root from sleep deficiency itself . Hence melatonin extended release can be used in your case.
